Eh, comes and goes, and when it rains, it pours, good OR bad, ya know? :life: And yeah, I know you're Mr. XML ... well, don't tell Don Demsak that ;) Except for very basic XML work, and more writing than reading, and mostly simply, xpath-less reading, I never really worked with XML prior to getting into services, and obviously now I prefer REST to SOAP scenarios when possible :) But XPath has become a handy friend. --ab
