The "problem" is that this alternative is already there, you're free to use it for your code if you wish. But for those that don't want, it's currently a problem... one that efreet had to handle on its own, then quaker66 will have to in order to enable e17 to show nice language dialog, it may also be the case for people willing to deal with fdo project rules (hal, policykit...) Don't get me wrong. I had to work with XML extensively in the past and I used libxml2 myself. It was cumbersome to use, but managed to do complex things like XPath to refer to nodes, all types of DOM queries, etc. It is useful, but not every project will use it. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
