Well, as an author of DASL, I can say that while there's a lot to like in DASL, the current version lacks means of searching properties for structured values. That's why we're looking at XQL. So I don't think you can 'push for DASL' as a means of meeting the needs of XML QL. If anything, it's the other way around. I think it's also reasonable to consider, from the library point of view, whether LDAP might work as well as DASL. Do you have any thoughts on that? best regards Jim
