Where does it say in the specs that ENTITY elements are expanded in steps ? I looked for the word ENTITY and ENTITIES in the specs and the only reference was in the http-request step. For example: test add-xml-base-001 clearly expects entities to be resolved and expanded. Thats certianly a useful, and possibly expected, feature, but I'd like to see it in the specs that its expected and/or required. If its not explicit then an otherwise conforming implementation could fail this test. Or for example, adding a p:identity earlier in the pipeline would cause the test to fail, which on the surface atleast seems non-obvious. I could even imagine cases where it would be useful to programatically specify entity expansion on a step by step basis ... although thats more on the lines of a 'feature request' then a 'spec clarification' -David ----------------------------------------------------------- David A.
