Ray,

You would not use Bridge to dynamically select or change the data
representation of an abstraction A even if A itself does not change ?
Ok if the data changes the algorithm probably have to change to but maybe
this is not the focus so that calling this Strategy might be awkward, right
?
Also, what about Coplien's String/StringRep example of his
Letter/envelope idiom ? Does the abstraction, namely String, change ?
