I think this would be a cool feature.  One of the points of COM is the
clean separation of interface and implementation.  If we can support the MS
interfaces, but drop in a better implementation, then we'll all have more
choices when working on Win32.  A COM wrapper for Xalan/C  would be nice as
well,hypothetically speaking.  I guess it depends on whether there are
enough interested MS/COM type programmers here to sustain such an effort.

So, are you suggesting that if you had a COM wrapper for Xerces-C, that
looked just like the
MS COM API's, you might use it?  Speaking hypothetically, of course.

If such a thing existed, would you be willing to help test it and maintain
it?

Hypothetically speaking,
