If it isn't mindblowing (an I am not contending it is), why is everyone else in this thread up in arm about normalizing down to level of logical symbols? Please prove them wrong, by showing an equivalent implementation in RM (that is every string normalized, and every symbol in every string normalized). Also, please show them it isn't mindblowing by providing an equivalent of www.xdb2.com/Example/ThingsNamedBrown.asp and www.xdb2.com/Example/BoxProperties.asp in as normalized manner (that is down to symbols).
