That case also seems to have been one of the driving forces behind XML 1.0's initial creation. For "a lot more", I should probably have written "a lot of additional", but that doesn't seem especially exciting to people find business cases the exciting part of technology. I suspect that case has just gotten lost in the noise, perhaps permanently. -- Simon St.Laurent "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." - Emile Coue
