Oh, a couple of hours, maybe a day for really complicated stuff. After all, the DTDs have to be checked sometime, and the checking process is just the sort of thing to train or test new hires on. But unless UNICODE is impossibly bug-free, we're still going to need the reference book that shows which characters are supposed to be available for names. Of course, I am speaking hypothetically. It's still more or less wait-and-see on UNICODE, and there is a lot of hope that a Japanese solution can be provided instead. We're mostly using JIS and relying on round-tripping, and that may be the best solution, even for XML. Joel
