While I see your point, from my POV "xml" feels different from "db". Part of it is that XML is *always* referred to that way in texts except for an initial expansion so people know what it stands for, whereas database is only abbreviated in limited circumstances. In addition, three characters is more visible than two. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Look, it's your affair if you want to play with five people, but don't go calling it doubles." --John Cleese anticipates Usenet _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
