Thanks -- that's a very nice survey article.

I have to admit, though, that I don't feel like the main
question I personally have, and have always had, about Axiom is
answered.  And I'm not sure if your article should answer this,
since your article is aimed at SIGSAM readers.  But since you've
just dived into Axiom, maybe you know.

  QUESTION: Can Axiom do anything at all relevant to number theory
  or arithmetic geometry better than MAGMA or SAGE?

By better, I mean *faster*, irregardless of interface and easy
of use issues.   Does Axiom it implement any number
theory or arithmetic geometry algorithms that are not implemented
in MAGMA or SAGE?
