And that's just a complete deal-breaker, because Cthulhu knows it's so hard to urlencode text if you're trying to send non-ASCII characters in XML-RPC. Dave probably should have made it Unicode from the start, or made a new spec supporting it, no question. But he hasn't, because he didn't want to fragment the market, it works fine for 99% of the applications, and the easy way around the problem makes it unlikely that he'll ever need to release a new spec. -- a href=http://kuoi.asui.uidaho.edu/~kamikaze/; Mark Hughes /a -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could also check into a RSS implementation.
