So if we do so, I think we need to make clear the benefits. I personally think simplification and/or improving reusability can become an advantage, but since whether it makes editing easier or not depends on who edits it and how frequently it will be edited, it is not persuasive very much. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Feb__6_01_33_06_2006_045)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBD5ijCTyzT2CeTzy0RAlGAAJ9lT8CJx7Aod7zAyBtEl+lCb9nZLwCglEKj SE4eTM3tfi0HYTMb8OCGhmo= =fr2E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Feb__6_01_33_06_2006_045)----
