With all due respect, this is undermining existing efforts that do try to address various problems. Many of people discussing approaches are actively working on various parts of the problem; although I'm most familiar with Wolfgang's and Michael's work, I am sure others are as well. And at least these two seem to be doing quite well in their respective fields. Also, even if we disagree to a degree on relative merits of various points of optimizations, I doubt any one of us is convinced to stop working on our 'favourite' areas, perceived bottlenecks. If someone wants to focus on perfecting byte-by-byte level close-to-hardware utf-8 - to - xml - tokens transcoding, great! Once results are in, we'll see the benefits. If outsiders think this is a stumbling block then so be it: I am less worried about perception than actual motion towards the goal. But then again, xml is just a hobby for me, not my bread and butter. Finally, not all progress is done in public by (academic) researchers, either. If and when there are business opportunities (which seems to be the case for efficient xml message processing -- IBM is making killing selling their expensive hardware, n'est pas?), there is and will be progress. Value of prices like X-prices, or D-Arpa's vehicle challenge, is lately hyped to stratosphere. It will take a while to objectively evaluate true value. So while here, too, I think it would be interesting to see some prices, I do not see lack of such prices as a block that prevents progress. But if such prices come available, great; the more approaches the merrier! -+ Tatu +- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
