Mechanism not policy. If you thing maintaining the order of form parameters is of questionable utility, just take a look at the requirements for ServletRequest.getLocales() (hint: the "q" parameter is a real hoot.) But it's in the spec, so somebody, somewhere has probably come up with a use for it. The servlet spec inherits Accept-Language semantics from the HTTP spec, just like it arguably ought to inherit form-ordering semantics from the HTML spec. (That is, assuming I'm interpreting the HTML spec correctly) I don't really have a great deal of emotion tied up in the issue, it's more of a specification nit. But on such nits is interoperability built :-) -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
