I'd vote 3 if we want to implement the clarification of the upcoming spec, since I don't think it can be implemented. If we choose to support only "physical" resources, we should be able to implement what you suggested (using getResource). Some experimentation will be needed to see how it really works in practice, obviously :) Remy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
