Joerg,

I am not questioning the need to support CML. I am questioning the need to
have support for 3 different XML parsers, all of which are used to support
CML.

To me it seems the comparision is this. Early versions of Java did not
have a standard regular expression library. So many were developed. Now,
there is standard regular expression support with the standard Java
classes. Do we still need to a choice of old regular expression libraries?

I really do not understand ... please explain.


Miguel
