I am beginning to > understand your concerns vis-à-vis Berkeley DB's license. To be clear, I wasn't expressing any interest (or disinterest); I was just commenting on the licensing issues. I don't have any opinion on whether we'd want to use it if there weren't licensing issues (nor would I be the right person to do so). (I'm just sending this clarification to avoid anyone being under the incorrect impression that if the license were changed the software would promptly be incorporated into browsers. There's still the issue of convincing browser makers that doing so is important enough that they'd be willing to support it.) -David -- L.
