Bullard, Claude L (Len) scripsit: > Why do I need to know that both dogs and cats are mammals? > Must I state that every time I feed the dog or the cat? Note that the names "simple-time" and "complex-time" are themselves complex in structure, unlike "dog" and "cat". "Dog" and "cat" are both ground-level notions with simple, native words. "Mammal" is above ground level. But "time of day" is a ground-level notion, and "human time convention" vs. "structural time convention" is below ground level. -- "No, John. I want formats that are actually John Cowan useful, rather than over-featured megaliths that http://www.ccil.org/~cowan address all questions by piling on ridiculous http://www.reutershealth.com internal links in forms which are hideously jcowan@r... over-complex." --Simon St. Laurent on xml-dev
