Well, well, *please* add a version number to CXS when changing it now! And *please* add a remark to all your posts which one you use. With /v\/ vs. /p\/, this is not really obvious (in contrast to the different accent marks, which are quite obvious immediately). Extensions are fine, but I'm quite pessimistic wrt. incompatible changes and hereby predict confusion. **Henrik
