My advice: If there is a common core of bits over the wire that they all do do, but then some /additional/ bits over the wire that are different, then write the spec for the common parts and note (but do not document) that there are various independent extensions. Treat any effort to document the variations as completely separate from the common core. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
