If you want to add new fields in the middle (to specify whether the option is exclusive, or can be mixed with others, or it's GUI representation, or whatever) then there's going to be problems. Give me an 'X'. Give me an 'M'. Give me an 'L'. . . If phk has his way we'll have an XML library in the base system soon enough. Which is exactly the discussion I want to avoid right now, because it's a huge rathole -- that's why my original suggestion was as simple as it was.
