I think =20 > "value ID" would be closer, but it's probably too horrible. I think I asked this in another mail, but I'm quite tired, so just to make sure: What do you mean by "value"? I might be weird (I'm not a native speaker, so I probably make funny and wrong connotations from time to time), but while I can accept "content" to include the type and size of the object, the term "value" makes me want to exclude those pieces of meta data. So "value" somehow feels wrong to me, as the hash covers those two fields. Bj=F6rn
