Um... but I thought that your earlier message said that the default behavior dictated by the spec didn't work. Maybe I didn't fully understand. I guess I had thought a spec violation was better than a spec-obeying busted behavior... If the spec-dictated behavior really *is* busted, would it be reasonable to hoist an error on defaulting the argument, and suggest that the user do the spec-defying but workable thing? Best, R
