I became aware of this when I was trying to port the maintenance branch layout into the trunk. It is, in fact, the issue that stopped my progress when I was last able to work on that project about 8 weeks ago. I hope to get back to it again sometime in the next week or two. It appears that IDs were implemented in maintenance branch code, but never in the trunk. I was just starting into figuring out what the new design is, when I got sidetracked. I suppose that the correct approach in the new design is to use the TRAIT constructs that you have noted, but I am not sure. If anybody knows how this is *supposed* to work in the new design, please let me know. The short answer is that I think this problem will eventually be fixed, but I am not sure when. Victor Mote
