With brackets and commas you can just parse out the values, at least with XML you can take advantage of dynamic dispatch and import precedence of XSLT, for example to easily modify any standard parser/serialiser stylesheets you come up with...

XQuery, oh well :) at least it will be simple enough to also have an XSLT equivalent... -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
