My -1 was out there for a number of months, without the essential objection being addressed. Since it wasn't addressed, I'm exercising my only alternative to an outright veto. If we can't find a compromise, of course we can revert the entire story, but I'd like to avoid that. I'm happy with a number of alternative names, mod_pcre_filter, mod_text_filter, mod_subst_filter, whatever, a number come to mind. The fact is, mod_sed_filter was nothing close to a sed implementation. Yes, I'm more of an awk fanboi than a sed user, but I'd expect a sed_filter to be exactly that. I'm also completely and perpetually irritated by some companies such as M$ which don't respect the existing glossaries of computer science, insisting on inventing new words or using the wrong words for old ideas :) And before anyone claims it's near enough - yes - there really is one. http//happygiraffe.net/mod_sed Bill
