This is consistent with the model used by several database vendors -- allow Java extensions for adding types, behavior, and new SQL functions. > he thought that mediating the functions through a GUI might make FP more attractive. Eventually XML, data integration, and content aggregation will be approachable at several levels. Low level: parsing and navigation. Higher level: APIs such as assembleDoc(...), rules markup, and code-generation solutions such as tpaML. Eventually we'll have speech and drag-and-drop GUIs operating over those lower levels. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
