The debate for the OpenACS audience was over a long time ago. I know that at one time, before tDOM, there were several products built at AOL that use nsxml and likely still do. Depending on the size of those products, the limiting factor of migrating to tDOM may be a labor issue: too much code to rewrite, no dev. resources available to do the work, etc. Trust me, I am very glad that OpenACS no longer uses nsxml and exclusively uses tDOM. This is VERY good news. But, I think part of my responsibility is to remember that there is no single audience for AOLserver -- not just AOL, not just ACS and OpenACS, etc. As folks have come out of the woodwork, as "unanimously" as tDOM has "won" the debate, there are still folks relying on it in production environments. I just want to ask if there's anything I can do for them, and listen to what they have to say. Based on what I'm hearing, all news is good. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
