In the case of a Wiki, it's important that some things be changed -- specifically, intra-Wiki (and perhaps inter-Wiki) links, maybe other stuff later. However, in the XML/SGML markup, it should be safe: you would not unintentionally add Wiki-specific markups. However, this means there has to be multiple ways to import/edit data, which is what I planning. So, rather than have a document marked as untouchable, you would simply import the document in a particular manner (perhaps with user preferences, user agent detection, a URL, or a combination of these), which wouldn't endanger it. Though, now that I think about it, plain documents should be importable as well -- images, for instance, can't be meaningfully processed. I was thinking of adding a mime type to the page description, maybe text/x-ww-wiki for normal Wiki documents, and you could mark something as text/html to keep it from being processed. But I don't expect it to be necessary. Ian _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
