Q: SPDL phenomena connections

["jason bright" <jaybright(at)gmail.com>]

(XSI 5.0).

A couple of questions for SDK people out there:

1) Is it possible in a phenomenon declaration (SPDL file), to connect two shaders *directly*, not output->input.  i.e. i want the tag of the other shader, not it's result.

e.g. (in .mi syntax).

declare shader "MyShader" (
      shader "input"
)
shader "phong" "mib_illum_phong" ()

In the export I want:

shader "test" "MyShader" (
       "input"  "phong"
)

What i *don't* want is:

shader "test" "MyShader" (
       "input" = "phong"
)

Using the "Connection" syntax in SPDL i always get the version with the equals in it. I've tried:

Connection "test::input" = "phong"  (get the equal version in the .mi export)
Connection "test::input" = value "phong" (get nothing output in the .mi file)
Connection "test::input" "phong"  (SPDL syntax error).

Am i missing something in the syntax? I guess i can play dirty and get the miTag of the connected shader through miState->shader->ghost_offs, but thats a last resort.

2) Can you specify an array of values within phenomena in SPDL? You can connect array->array as named parameters.  I want to be able to specify an array of values to an array parameter. 
e.g.

delcare shader "myShader" (
      array scalar "scalars"
)

Node "temp"   guid = "theguidforMyShader";
Connection "temp::scalars" = value 6.0,4.4
,1.0,200.0

 I think this is no as well, but wanted to double check.
