Actually, my point was that using a separate filename for version 2.0 would allow provision of both 1.x and 2.0, so version 2.0 metadata can be deployed as tool support becomes available, instead of having to wait until 1.x tools are replaced. Once tools are following the new rule about version compatibility, there's less worry about this (at least on my part). -Fred -- Fred L.
