Here is how I would see it working. 15 organizations (banks, vendors, etc) get together and put $1000 each into a kitty. They announce that they will pay $10,000 first prize and $5,000 second prize for the two fastest non-viral open source XML parsers that meet the bottom line of being twice as fast as libxml (as of current version) for a particular suite of ASCII-dominated transactions of about 1 to 10K each for non-validating parsing. Contest to run for six months. What do the sponsors get out of it? Worst case: no one wins; no cost, no benefit (though proving we need to go beyond XML does have a value actually!) Best case: tiny investment, substantial reduction in performance of multi-million dollar assets and transaction rates, ability to adopt desirable new architectures. Techniques are open source non-viral so they can potentially feed into commercial products (at the end of the day, Bill gets all the $$$ no matter what!) Any takers? Joseph Chiusano: know anyone? Cheers Rick
