I made the change so the little indicator to the right of the package pop-up says either "on" or "all" and that worked when I selected a package. But then I clicked on exported-only and the tag reverted to all. I had a lisp (describe request) in the processing stream and can see why:

The get-parameters just shows the effected field. Is that something we are doing? I would say we could change rules to say (or (param?...) .cache), but I recall you said... well, that was attributes, nothing is said if the attibute goes away or something.

OK, I have been thinking. We like the granularity, so these get-parameters -- er, why aren't they post parameters? -- should not be treated as they are now as definitive of all the data, they just signify specific updates to the model. So I am thinking we take a different approach and simply loop over the values received and SETF the model slots, which should be c-in or c?n if they need to calculate an interesting initial value for a field based on other info. I will play with this. Meanwhile, I see a parameter on the server that says output-chunking is true -- in the request handler instead of bunging them all into a single string can we just write them one at a time to page and trust hunch to chunk them? kt
