Look forward to it... I've already put a request in to our software acquisitions... you should see a new customer soon.

Since you are working on upgrading...

I would like to see some parameter(s) allow for input and output of quotes and apostrophes that did not "escape" quotes or apostrophes (converting to entities). w3Schools.com says only ampersands and "<" are truly "illegal" and so any xml processor really should escape these... and they recommend also quotes, apostrophe's and closing tag marker ">" &gt; also be converted... so, that is what Rev does... all five of them. And I don't see a way to turn it off.

One of the nice things about Ken's XML library is that it handles CDATA nodes well, which makes working with html and other 'illegally' formatted node data very easy. While I use Rev's own XML extensively it's not great in this regard and while it reads in CDATA OK, its inability to create and maintain CDATA nodes is a major shortcoming IMO.
