Its how Ken MacLeod and co did the Perl SAX2 bindings, for example, and it works really well. But they are implementation dependant. Of course I don't personally believe that the current specs are all that broken, apart from size-wise. XSLT was just pushing the perimiter IMHO. XSL FO is way beyond the limit, for example. But we've already spoken of breaking things up into modular sections, so thats a good start. I suggest that we could talk ourselves in circles here, and we should look towards small changes and see what difference they make. Totally transforming the way specs are written is just too big a change IMHO. Of course I agree with Simon that the W3C needs to open its doors a bit. And that is a small change that they should have done over a year ago when we first started talking about it here. *sigh* -- <Matt/> /|| ** Director and CTO ** //|| ** AxKit.com Ltd ** ** XML Application Serving ** // || ** http://axkit.org ** ** XSLT, XPathScript, XSP ** // \\| // ** Personal Web Site: http://sergeant.org/ ** \\// //\\ // \\
