On the one hand I agree with this -- why should these pigs be better than any other animals on the farm -- but on the other hand, as someone who wants to build higher-level facilities on top of XML, it's a real pain. "The nice thing about standards is that there's so many to choose from" was a complaint, not praise, and string.replace('standards', 'doms') does not make it any better. /r$ -- SOA Appliance Group IBM Application Integration Middleware _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
