No simple mechanism for grouping Fixing that would be a major boost to this list, cos then Jeni could undefine that keyboard macro of hers that prints out "This is a grouping problem [...] Hope this helps" and have more time for the problems we all really need her to solve. And Mike K could undefine his macro that prints "This is a grouping problem: See Jeni T's website". I also echo DaveP's plea (tho I realise performance is an implementation issue, not one for the spec) to remember the real-timers among us who always will have that Need for Speed.
