Can someone remind me why we use data forms for this, and not real elements? I never really understood why we have data forms in protocols that have nothing to do with displaying of data. Why not use namespaced elements to which we can assign real semantics? I'm probably missing something. Shouldn't it be specified how the 'value' field should be interpreted for things like 'icon' etc.? Should this be limited to http URIs? I guess it is with data forms, because you can only have one string as a value child? Shouldn't the security considerations mention something about fetching the icons OOB? (i.e. exposing unwanted information about location etc., potential malicious files, ...) cheers, Remko
