[note: I've seen it by private mail]

Yes, you should post it publicly, for two reasons:

1. People cannot protect themselves against what they don't know.

2. There's very little XML flowing outside the firewall (virtually nil
   in Web terms), so there's not much for a script kiddie to attack.

I suppose we need to consider XML-aware Web browsers like MSIE, but
you hardly need a sophisticated attack to crash those anyway.


All the best,


DAvid
