I had the impression that you could use XPATH style access to XML data independent of knowing anything about the DTD/schema/or similar structural concepts. If this is true you could put XPath strings in as attribute strings - might want to indicate it is an "XPath string" - in which case might want an OID saying "XPath", but would that then be sufficient? bob -- Robert K.
