Gregg,

sorry I noticed that I keep dropping the extra 'g' off your name in the

Hopefully you are used to it the same way I am to people adding an
unnecess=
ary e to my surname I.e. Locke instead of Lock

Rgds, Darren.

Well, I can only speak emphatically about misterhouse; and, it
definitely can. I would guess other apps can as certain schemas would
seem to encourage this. I would hope that you will get additional
pros/cons from others, however, before making assumptions.

I'll defer to others "in the know". It would seem more useful if
this
were the case. In practice, I see more "embellishment" (i.e.,
additions
or refinements to interpretation) than strict schema control. There are
certain occasions/situations where this leads to considerable problems.

Those assumptions seem quite valid. I would suggest considering several
points: (1) the xAP schema is either close or has adopted the extended
addressing capability that would make this constrain moot (although,
there seems to be an unending series of issues getting things moving
here), (2) I have personally used your "first-come-first-served"
concept--realizing that my personal approach results in some only
semi-persistent UID allocation (yet nothing broke despite concerns that
might suggest otherwise if exceptionally conservative) and (3) be very,
very practical about what you think are your real environments (e.g.,
reasonable # of servers, contexts, etc) are as planning for the worst
case can lead to an exceptional and often inappropriate level of effort
(which is fine--so long as "worst case" really deserves that
level of
attention). If I were to have adopted the full spirit and constraint of
the original UID subaddressing limit, I would have bailed on xAP long ago=
.

Regards,

Gregg
