I think the DOM WG *should*, maybe in Level 3, be looking at extending the DOM API to support "zero-latency" (buzzword du jour!) interaction with repositories, lazy loading, etc. But for now, we've got pretty much the same tools as the HTML people have (HTTP, etc.) to work with XML over the Web. We can do better someday, but this will suffice for now, and it's all the DOM can handle for now. Mike
