Another thought I had is that it *should* be possible to write a DOM application in Java that serializes an XML or HTML document (or subtree) to/from a database using JDBC. (I forget -- are there some limitations on a DOM application's ability to serialize an arbitrary document? Perhaps some of the XML entity/notation stuff won't round-trip, my memory is fuzzy ... But the DOM Level 1 *should* be powerful enough to serialize an HTML or simple XML document, right?). Has anyone seen such a thing, or tried to do it? Mike Champion
