> 1. No ASP session variables
> 
	[Atkins, Chris]  This means that the web apps you build will not be
	dependent upon cookies on the client side.  ASP Session variables
	depend on cookies set on the client machine in order to work.  This
	is also a way to explicitly ensure that your developers don't stick
	some huge object into the session scope, thus killing performance.

> 2. They insist on the use of 'Option Explicit' in the VB code
> 
	[Atkins, Chris]  Basically this just makes debugging easier by 
	ensuring that only variables that were explicitly declared can be
	used in the page.  They make be requesting this because they think
	it will speed development time or improve their chances of being
able
	to maintain the code.  They probably just asked someone what they
	should require... :)

	Good luck!  BTW, what does "rpf" stand for?  I've heard of RFQ and
RFP.
