I also take the opportunity to ask - very gently - what the present position of the various 'public' parsers is. [I have long ago given up trying to keep JUMBO's trivial parser up-to-date and use it only for files I create myself in 'simple XML'. For serious work I piggyback on the other parsers which can be called as an argument to JUMBO's commandline (e.g. parser="Lark"). How are the parser-writers getting on with working under Xapi-J? If I could rely on this, I would hack the corresponding bit of JUMBO so that any conforming parser could be used. P.
