I'm convinceable--I really am, but I'm making a big deal about it because I've written a lot of notwork protocol code and I know what makes it easy and what makes it complex. OK, I understand that you want to put a "presentation" layer in between the data model and the serialization method. If there's a benefit to that layer, give me an example of its use--otherwise why not just eliminate it entirely? A simple protocol is a thing of beauty and power. -- Lee Daniel Crocker <lee at piclab.com> <http://www.piclab.com/lee/> "All inventions or works of authorship original to me, herein and past, are placed irrevocably in the public domain, and may be used or modified for any purpose, without permission, attribution, or notification."--LDC _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
