Hi Jason, Does this mean that XSmiles is no longer jdk1.1 dependant? Thats good.

There is no current work on these areas. The first one would probably not be very difficult and is an area that someone could have a look at right now. The second point, I don't really know what scripting support would be. Do you mean dynamic xsl:fo or some other dom scripting? This has not been discussed at all. So if you want to help with the integration of the projects you could look at the design and implementation of the AWT (swing) renderer. > If you haven't tried XSmiles, I would heartily suggest taking a look, as > it is a pretty amazing client if you're trying to be as close to be > bleeding edge of W3 technologies as possible.
