on or about, Thursday, May 17, 2001, we have reason to believe that Evan Simpson wrote something along the lines of :
ES> I realize that the pace of development in ZPT has been fairly rapid, and
ES> that everyone on the list doesn't have time to follow every issue.  On the
ES> other hand, there are a few simple changes that have been proposed that I
ES> would really like to get a simple reaction to from as many people as
ES> possible, so that we can close them and move on.

ES> Please take a moment to react to each of these with a +1 (you like it), 0
ES> (don't care), -1 (dislike it), or ??? (don't get it):

ES> A) Add a standard 'user' variable, so that "user/getId" is the current
ES> user's id.

ES> B) Add a standard 'attrs' variable containing the default values of the
ES> current tag's attributes, for instance "attrs/href".

ES> C) Have a trailing slash in a path mean 'nocall', that is, prevent the value
ES> of the path from being called.

ES> D) Eliminate path modifiers ("if exists nocall") completely

ES> E) Eliminate 'exists:' expression type, since most of these tests can be
ES> spelled "path | nothing".

ES> Example response: "A: +1, B: +1, C: ???, D: 0, E: -1"

ES> Cheers,

ES> Evan @ digicool
