Hi Andrew, Well, I've never used sxml-match, but, based on a cursory examination of the documentation: SDOM, being a DOM implementation, is useful for doing high-level manipulation of XML documents, and the events subsystem in particular is useful for responding to events that occur as the document is manipulated -- as it is initially parsed or during subsequent modification. If you don't require this level of interactive response in your project, then, yes, SDOM might be overkill / the wrong paradigm. I wrote it, though, because I needed an XML system that behaved, well, like a DOM implementation -- including maintaining order of event cascades and error handlers, etc. Hope this helps.

Please pardon the impertinence of a newbie (to XML), but could you perhaps give us a few pointers to what these (event handling) extensions are good for? I've been using sxml-match in a scheme re-implementation of a project that I'd previously implemented in python with it's xml.dom.minidom system. I vastly prefer the sxml/sxml-match approach for what I'm doing, but I wonder if I'm missing something... Cheers, -- Andrew
