I think this is a good pattern, though I might have switched their order myself, or only given the abbreviation if the two Descriptions are identical. I was thinking of a precedence like: 1) Description, if present 1.1) If Description is not unique, combine with one of the below 2) Abbreviation, otherwise 3) Name, otherwise I know that Description is listed as a "Required" element, but if it were absent, having fallbacks is a good idea. --Greg _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
