good to hear that :)

Please notice that the definition of computing resource and computing element
was changed in the recent draft: The computing element does not represent an
LRMS any longer, the LRMS specific info was moved to the computing resource 
entity. The element is now a grouping object for services and resources.

in a previous mail of yours you asked:

 > Can you guys explain why you think the Share should be directly linked to the 
ComputingService?

is this question still relevant in view of the altered definitions and Sergio's 
explanation?

regards,
Balazs
