Perhaps you're right. My suggestion started from wanting a very compact value that could be carried in the LIST result. A subject for another day. I do think, for the sake of client writers, some care in making it easy to manipulate is worthwhile. All a server ever needs to do is keep it unique and spit them out when requested. For it to be useful on a client they need to be managed in some sort of efficiently searchable form. ... ian <id@cc.mcgill.ca> Ian Duncan --- McGill University Computing Centre --- +.514.398.3710
