"will definitely"? Any stream has to start, and ought to be able to end gracefully. Why not start and stop once in a while for resyncronization? A series of document-packets (packuments?) should work fine. On the other hand, I'm not sure that XML must be used to solve every problem. It's beyond me what we gain by incompatibly re-implementing RPC, SQL, Java class files, or whatever in XML. Let's solve some new problems. If we don't let go of the XML hammer once in a while, everything starts to look like a thumb. wunder -- Walter R. Underwood wunder@i... wunder@b...
