I know this opinion goes against everything that is being taught today.... I think XML is an overly redundant representation of little content. And believe me I am faced with it every day. I see files with a content of a few thousend bytes being bloated to dozens of kilobytes just for the sake of a little bit of structure and so called readability. And it takes hours to process them and sometimes even our big AIX servers just run out of memory. To process XML efficiently one has to build the DOM tree in memory, along with the tags, just for well formedness and that does not cover xslt processing yet. But then, I am old fashioned. There are package managers that address the dependency issue, maybe we should just look at them (and take the least complicated one) Else, if you really fancy XML then maybe the mOnOwall set up is a way to go, AFAIK even the init files are based on that. cheers Erich
