Could this be addressed by requiring each component to specify its preferred input and output types (sax, dom, xdm, xml, exi, etc. -- with a requirement on all components to accept "xml") and coming up with a simple algorithm to pick the best input/output match at each junction (possibly also requiring that the implementation should provide at least certain adapters)? This makes it an implementation detail, but one for which preferences can be expressed where components need to interoperate. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
