I think methods like that > have promise because they are indeed a subset of XML, All the XML is hidden in the burlap example. :-/ /me pokes around Hm... I'd like a bag in addition to a list in SML. A lot of the time, stuff doesn't *need* to be ordered. You can use a list, but then there is an implicit ordering. And comments. I like comments in data formats. It helps so much when you can make the sample-data-file self-documenting. > which while it > has problems is really aimed at flexibility.
