It seems to me that if we start at zero, then we force the user interface to do work to ensure that in any rendering non-programmers are accommodated. In some cases (such as mapping to buttons, this is a non-issue, but if the user interface designer wants to use numbers as aid to the user, then having the numbers in the protocol saves work for the UI designer and makes it more likely that different UIs will correlate. _______________________________________________ BLISS mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/bliss
