Hi Larry, I was almost convinced by your arguments. However, they may make us re-examine the module element. You said: > I think making structure a container AND a mechanism for designating content will be > harder to explain ... The module element is also a container and a mechanism for designating content. The content model is: db.module = db.resource.module db.container.module The container version does not take a resourceref attribute. It is replaced by an element whose name is designated by its renderas value (either its @renderas or its child output element's @renderas), but provides no other content. The resource version of module requires a resourceref that pulls in content from a resource. Essentially my proposal is to make structure a specialized version of module, one that can appear only at the top level. If we can explain the two roles for module, then I think calling structure the "root module" will be straightforward to explain. Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises bobs@sagehill.net
