I hope nothing I have said would be interpreted to the contrary, and I can't imagine why you might think that this proposition rushes me (were you waiting on me for something?). I have the least knowledge of or interest in the performance side. Having said that, I *very* much want us to implement a lowest-common-denominator, it-will-never-matter-what-the-guts-look-like API for the FO Tree to deliver the property values. That is totally independent of the way properties are stored and computed. Victor Mote
