Re: [higgins-dev] More Shared Configuration Handlers?

["Tom Doman" <TDoman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Okay, that all sounds good to me.  I see the ListHandler now, cool!

Greg,

Any thoughts?  Would you implement these?

1. "htf:reference"
2. "htf:include" (or whatever you wanna call it)

Thanks,
Tom

I agree - been thinking about an "IncludeHandler" for a while.

Actually - a more generic form would be a "htf:reference" - since you 
should be able to point to anything, not just a map.

Sort of, I have an htf:list that does this already.
