The top level constant doesn't really matter to me. As long as we do like you said, and make sure to set the XML constant for compatibility. A couple things I would like are: 1) each ruby class in its own file, and 2) each class under a directory corresponding to its module/class. For example, the class LibXML::Node::Set would live as "lib/libxml/node/set.rb". The LibXML::Node class would live as "lib/libxml/node.rb", and 'require' any classes that are defined in its namespace. In my experience, that has made finding classes easy and fairly intuitive. -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/ _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
