I don't have a whole answer for you, but a part that may help. What is generally meant by "Manhattan distance" is so-called L1 distance, i.e. Pythagoras' distance summation formula but without all the squaring and surding. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry> I imagine the concept is applied to parameter types in the discussion in question. // Carl
