I'm having trouble envisioning a use case were nested declarations are more valuable or intuitive than the existing methodology that others have already pointed out. Can you enlighten us as to situations where you found a nested approach to be more desirable than the standard methodology, besides just saying that XML is hierarchical & so are directories?

For example: <mkdir dir="dir"> <mkdir dir="subdir" /> <mkdir dir="another_subdir"> <mkdir dir="a_sub-subdir" /> </mkdir> </mkdir> Which would create: --- + dir | - subdir | + another_subdir | | - a_sub-subdir If so, where can I find it? If not, are there any particular reasons not to? (It seems so natural a thing to do in XML, but it doesn't work…) -- Tony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
