For me it was a delima; either announce early to get some interest to help the project move forward, or wait untill it reaches a certain level of quality and user friedlyness (and risk having it end up in /dev/null). > So these two have to be weighed at a fundamental level when > applying the technologies of XML, such as XSLT and XForms. BTW the generators currently employed are using XSLT under the hood. I'd like to support XMI, RNG and RDFS/OWL as input, but XForms seem very distant to me. I guess i always had a bad impression for XForms because OS tools are not there yet. As a webapp oriented dev, i'm tired of seeing everyone trying to fill the client support gaps on the server's side. It is a noble effort but... [1] http://md4j.sourceforge.net/ Cheers, Manos
