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.
