I have to write an object and addressing policy for some folks, and I want to base that strictly on the Internet identification, naming and location standards. OTW, it is very hard for these folks to buy anything commercial and get the level of interoperability they not only want, but have to have for mission critical apps. Selling the XML depends on the speed with which XML becomes a preferred commercial standard. They no longer want to write their own. Too expensive; no one listens anyway until big dollar procurements enter the picture. Stop the madness. No more charity work. len
