I believe we've said officially that DOM implementations _may_ throw implementation-specific exceptions if/when their implementation-specified bounds are exceeded. Normally that's taken to mean things like running out of storage. Running out of time strikes me as entirely analagous, so if someone wanted to throw a timeout exception I'd consider that reasonable... and out of the scope of the current DOM spec. In any case, this issue would pervade the entire remote-DOM implementation, and hence is not an XPath issue per se. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
