For NVDL I don't believe there's an implementation, I'd started one but then people expected me to do other stuff. It's not horribly complicated though, the biggest issue is that the spec is too light on details. Maybe someone in perl-xml could be convinced to work on that. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I prefer the English accent, it is more a-rhotic."
