I guess thats one reading of it but if anything the snippets you provided seem to me to encourage merging of XML and jakarta if anything ;) Effectively XML/Jakarta would become a single city with a mosaic of subcultures. Already we have different sub-cultures which are effectively defined by the committers - when a committer is a member of multiple projects they tend to imbue the projects with their own "culture". However I guess you were trying to support the exact opposit view so I will shut up now ;) -- Cheers, Pete --------------------------------------------------- "Therefore it can be said that victorious warriors win first, and then go to battle, while defeated warriors go to battle first, and then seek to win." - Sun Tzu, the Art Of War --------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
