In general I agree especially with that Document Type creator should not be doing "manual optimizations". However I in the case of DOM to DOM communication its possible to to much better than using XML text a content carrier. In this case the question arises, where is the protocol interface ? Is it an interface that accepts a arbitrary byte stream and transports opaque data to a receiver (A) or is it a an interface that accepts a DOM tree and sends it ot a receiver (B) ? (A) DOM --> [streamifyXML] --> XML text -->[protocolInterface] -->something smaller,faster (gzip, FastML,...) ==communicate==> something smaller,faster --> [protocolInterface] --> XML text ->[SAX] --> DOM (B) DOM --> [protocolInterface] -->something smaller (gzip) ==communicate==> something smaller --> [protocolInterface] -->DOM /anders -- /_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ / Financial Toolsmiths AB / / Anders W.
