You're over-interpreting my statement. I wasn't trying to prove that unnecessary padding is ok. I was merely pointing out that it couldn't be a strictly conforming program that behaved differently under the two interpretations, because under one of them it wouldn't be strictly conforming. It appears to be the case that you can't write a strictly conforming program that prints the value of any implementation-defined parameter. -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, AI Applications Institute, R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
