the daemon arrived too late last night to deal with this one:

> The ltxkeys package provides facilities for creating and managing keys
> in the sense of the keyval and xkeyval packages, but it is intended to
> be more robust and faster. Its robustness emanates from its ability to
> preserve braces in key values throughout parsing. The need to preserve
> braces in key values arises often in parsing keys. This is often the
> case in, eg, the xwatermark package. The package is faster than the
> xkeyval package because, among other features, it avoids
> character-wise parsing of key values (which is called selective
> sanitization by the xkeyval package).

> It also provides additional functionalities for defining and managing keys.
i have installed the new package, and made an entry in the catalogue
repository that describes it.

The catalogue entry will first appear on the web (some time) overnight
tonight.
