But this was exactly my point for using the RM as a style guide. "Style" being the optimal word. Of course you can't use the RM for content issues, such as choice of data structure, because the RM can't guess what type of platform, or type of application, you're working with. I assumed this was a given, but considering the diversity of the list I guess I shouldn't make these kinds of assumptions. Frank
