Did I understand this >correctly? I think that the answer must be yes. The basic syntax is just that, syntax. Presence semantics is quite different from IM semantics. I view MIME as labeling semantic objects. There is some flexibility about when to use a new MIME content-ype, versus when to use an attribute label associated with a content-type. However I believe that a common syntax between IM and Presence objects is not enough to argue for their having a common Mime type. d/ ---------- Dave Crocker <mailto:[email protected]> TribalWise, Inc. <http://www.tribalwise.com> tel +1.408.246.8253; fax +1.408.850.1850 [reminder: [email protected] for non-technical discussions, please]
