Hmm, this would suggest that having the ability to extend the DataStaging element was a good idea. Yes I think you've got a point here. So that's my vote for an xsd:any in the DataStaging element. We steered away from putting "copy folder" or "untar file" in the core spec as so many DRM systems didn't support this. But it would make a useful extension set.

FWIW, I'd do that as special URLs, perhaps like this: untar:ftp://foo.bar.com/pub/data.tar It's possible to do some *really* horrible things with URL syntax. :^D Donal.
