It does look like everything they are working on keeps getting bigger and more complicated, though. They seem to like to add features that would be "proprietary" if they were a commercial outfit. Of course, they all have merit, but the "S" might go out of "SAX". I'm in favor of stability for our defacto standards as much as possible. Maybe Apache would make some agreement for stability and openness?? Cheers Tom Passin
