The only thing I would still want is that you dont't *have to* specify all this, and also that it's possible to have a per-document paramterization for that. Config file only is not feasible in many environments. I often tend to think of an FO stream as a "job to process", not a document. A job should be able to contain everything necessary. > OT: > I thought Italy was the place with the largest 'organization' of ideas > :-) Used to be.
