Re: the owner is not always the owner - was best way to refer to objects in groups...

2000-09-21 Thread Craig Spooner

  Any objection to changing behavior of "the owner" property so
that it returns the long id of the object instead of the name?  Seems
to me that this will eliminate the ambiguity problem with minimal
backward compatibility problems...

 Scott


Sounds very helpful to me, as I, too, ran into this problem a while 
back.  Is it better to change the behavior of "the owner" or create a 
new "ownerID" property?

Hmmm, changing the behavior might cause some backwards incompatibility. But
an "ownerID" property would be very nice.
