I don't actually know exactly how the BK changeset file works, but your explanation really sounds _very_ much like it. I didn't want to do anything that even smelled of BK. Of course, part of my reason for that is that I didn't feel comfortable with a delta model at all (I wouldn't know where to start, and I hate how they always end up having different rules for "delta"ble and "non-delta"ble objects). But another was that exactly since I've been using BK for so long, I wanted to make sure that my model just emulated the way I've been _using_ BK, rather than any BK technical details. So it sounds like it could work fine, but it in fact sounds so much like the ChangeSet file that I'd personally not have done it that way. Linus
