No. For the user it is 3 times a different behaviour instead of one change. Again: Specs (in my opinion) is about what the effect on the user is, not on how you code the stuff. There complexity doesn't matter. If it is too complex for the user, then it is a bad idea in the first place. It it is too complex for the developer to make sense of it, it is a bad idea as well. ciao Christian -- NP: Bif Naked - Over You --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
