This is a good point. Mention closed source to an "average Open source/GPL
programmer and you'll get about the same response as suggesting to a group
of vegans that dinner is at Rockin' Ronnies.

Uhh. What are you implying? .NET came up with reflection yes but Java also
came out with reflection 6 years ago. This is nothing new.

Marc, I think you're falling into the same trap that you're suggesting XAML
programmers will fall into in a couple of years and that is that M$ invented
reflection. Reflection has been around for 6 years in Java - this is not
anything new.
