It could be better ... 1.8/2.0 could (non-)silently ignore XML sub-trees that they did not understand. Then, 2.2 could emit both the old (FreqSpec) and new (Recurrence) structures and the files would be backward-compatible. Of course, it'd be custom, new code to generate a FreqSpec from a Recurrence, and there are features of the Recurrence that can't be expressed in a FreqSpec, but only if used could 2.2 refuse to save in pre-2.2 format. Unfortunately, our XML error handling sucks. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
