A problem with using string as names is +that it is very easy to lose track of the correct naming +context. This is one of the problem with [[PassiveTranslators]]: +a passive translator is a string. When the node is accessed +on which the passive translator is set and there is no active +translator, then an active translator is started using the +passive translator setting. The active translator is started +by the file system, not the program instance that set the +passive translator. The passive translator settings are +therefore resolved in the file system's naming context, which +may be different from that of the program instance that set the +passive translator setting. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
