If anybody can put together a "Grid" language for xml, that would be useful. Take for example, a price update event, that comes out of a diff and looks like: <Product Item> Product_ID&="74332" Name&="IBM A50 DT P4 3EGHz 256MBDDR 40GB CD XPP" Availability&="InStock" - List_Price$=1183.00 + List_Price$=1147.00 </Product Item> How could that be taken and then applied as an 'event' onto an inventory system? I know it's not a "generic" problem, rather a specific one, but price changes do happen an awful lot in the real world and it would be cool to have some sort of clever solution to this. To translate what is required, a price has changed in a supplier catalog and the inventory system would need to be updated in real-time. Throughout the day, there are thousands of these darn events.
