I hoped that someone had already worked out some of the details, that's all. As you said in a previous post, garbage collectors do something like it, but I do not get the sense that writing a garbage collector is necessarily trivial. More to the point, the pruning will probably need to take some more human input along the way, which sounds like several passes to me. I am not sure how far the person involved wants to go in paring down the schema. I suspect he wants to be fairly draconian about it. Cheers, Tom P
