We're not to the point where we need vector valued variables; that will only come when we're trying to use vector-valued discretizations that can't be expressed as tensor products of scalar-valued spaces, and piecewise constants certainly don't qualify. On the other hand, we're well past the point where we *want* vector and tensor valued variables, just for simplicity of application coding. Even if we only implement tensor products of scalar spaces for the foreseeable future, that's enough of a foundation to hash out the right API. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
