See <http://www.w3.org/community/microxml/wiki/MicroLarkApi> for my current shot at it, and remember that it is SAX+StAX+DOM. -- John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan It's like if you meet an really old, really rich guy covered in liver spots and breathing with an oxygen tank, and you say, "I want to be rich, too, so I'm going to start walking with a cane and I'm going to act crotchety and I'm going to get liver disease. --Wil Shipley
