But it is not solving the problems: 1. The PortName still needs to describe the possible values for non RDF-capable hosts. 2. The host still needs to know what part of the PortName it may suppress. My proposal loses us nothing: because plugin authors need to use the PortName field to describe port values _anyway_ (to aid non RDF-capable hosts) it makes sense to agree on a best way to do it.
