Hmmm... now you lost me. :-) But I think that we agree (although the use of the word "family" was unfortunate and confusing): I was talking about a set of technologies that were involving XML, and therefore enabling an XML communication. That was in response to Mark's question about packaging and XML Query. Regards, Hugo -- Hugo Haas - W3C mailto:hugo@w3.org - http://www.w3.org/People/Hugo/ - tel:+1-617-452-2092
