I don't have an agenda to push for LINQ, but I don't think that the reasons you quote eliminate it as an option — many successful standards started off as a single vendor solution and were later submitted for consideration by a standards group. I guess what I'm saying is: since you don't like the SQL-based approach that is currently being explored, and since you have a wealth of research into better alternatives, why not look into contributing them? -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
