The point we wanted to make is that an entry exists whether or not it can be accessed, and there can be a number of different accesses for an given entry. If that number is zero, you call it a collection, if that number is greater than zero, you call it a dataset, if you want the things that you are talking about to be independent of protocol, you call them the same thing, in this case entry. Personally, I think the case is overwhelming that collection be dropped. Makes more sense to call what is left a dataset than an entry, but obviously it is isomorphic to what is needed, so for a machine readable document I can hardly complain. Benno -- Dr. M.
