Prolly not necessary, but just to be sure no one misunderstands, the foolishness I attribute to myself is not in getting involved with XML:DB. I'm actually very happy that a group is getting together to pioneer useful standardization of XML/database issues and I'm happy to participate. What I can't believe I did is spent the hours to work up a full-blown API proposal, considering what was on my docket at the time. I certainly hope some good comes of it. For everyone who is not aware of the XML:DB iniiative, it's an open group of people trying to work out some useful recommendations for XML database technologies. Ronald Bourret and Jonathan Borden are among the contributors, and getting involved is a simple matter of joining a mailing list (see http://www.xmldb.org). My own proposal for an XML database call-level interface is at http://uche.ogbuji.net/papers/xmldb-cli.html There are other proposals and there has been a good deal of thoughtful discussion to which the thoughtful members of XML-DEV could add.
