It depends on where you draw the line. I typically receive 2-5
messages a week from students working with SAX, often in Asia or
Europe. Of course, they don't usually identify themselves as
students, but I can tell by the way the questions are phrased (i.e. as
abstract problems) and by the fact that I will get the same question
from two or three addresses in the same domain within a few days. The
SAX vs. DOM problem seems especially popular.
I don't know what that promises for the future.
All the best,
David
