Who on this list does NOT support "..." Christian> instead of metas? I personally don't like the way that "..." looks. IMHO, it's just ugly. But that's my main complaint with it, and it's just an opinion. Hmm. Looking at http://namesys.com/v4/pseudo.html just reminded me that the string "..." is also used as a placeholder for multiple unspecified items (name1/name2/name3/ ... /nameN/name), and so writing "..." in a manual/instructions could be confusing. While I would much prefer ..metas or even .metas over plain metas, I would have to agree with Hans that it is extremely unlikely that anyone would actually use such a name. I don't think it's a showstopper. -- Hubert Chan - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
