I feel like trailing ... have reached common understanding. It's not a big deal, because 'more' is very clear, but it's an instant recognition that this link is different than all others.

Thanks for your comment

In what way is it different? The upper case is intentional -- we use lower case in tables, and first caps elsewhere. I am working on a more precise specification. The larger font was not intentional, and I will fix.

I think you are saying it should be the same, right? Should lower-case be used in links throughout iMIS? It would simplify things.

The example changed

The change to the example that was made on 6/17 appears to have lost the details link to which the note in the Solution refers. It also appears to have added a remove link that did not appear previously.

If the intent was to make these changes to the illustration , then the text just needs to be updated. Otherwise, the illustration may need to be updated to match the text.

Good catch. Thanks.

We are planning to move away from "details" links an use the name (or equivalent) to see the details, and then a second link on that page to access the underlying object, so the text needs to be changed, which I will do. That style is not used on the web much any more.

Do you see any possible flaws in this plan? I would appreciate feedback.
