Thanks, I did join up, I just mis-read the time. Great discussion.

One note from the Mongoose document:
* Perhaps eventually remove [calc] and [perl] altogether, requiring all
additional code to be in .pm modules and declaring Interchange-specific
declarations - or provide it as plugin.

I don't mind if all tags become .pm mods, but I do need to keep the
[calc] tag, even if just for my catalogs.  I use [calc] in many places
in my catalogs, it's one of those things that makes IC so easily
customizable.  I really really hope this tag does not go away.  

Thanks again!
