My feeling is that we need to work out the specification and format of the `` node list'' first. In the first step, I would prefer to have only node-specific things, eg only what comes out after a box construction. I also got a similar request: to provide a primitive that writes out the content of a box and another primitive to re-construct that box back from the output. We can start with this and make further extensions later on.

At the moment I cannot see clearly what is needed, but I am willing to write some extensions so that we can experiment with to see what is really needed and perhaps change what have been done.

i'd say ... go ahead, so that we get a picture; at least we then hav ea starting point for karl's work

err -- we need to work out how the node list will be output and input back first. I am still waiting for Karel's opinion. Thanh
