Regarding location, my preference would be to canonicalize the way that ESME stores location data in the metadata. We could just do it in the web client and document it, basically saying, "If you want to store location data in a way that ESME knows about, do it this way, and if you want to store it some other way in the metadata, that's fine too." Regarding actions that filter arbitrarily based on metadata, the metadata isn't necessarily XML so XPath would be of limited use. In the discussion a couple months ago we stopped short of deciding on the structure of the metadata, so it is hard to say how we would allow filtering it. It's probably a discussion we should finish first, before deciding on location or filtering. Ethan
