I'm not sure I agree with your comments on pull vs. push based processing. I do agree that mixed content is the probably the most relevant differentiator between data-centric & document-centric uses of XML. However I don't see where this leads to the position that there is antagonism between the folks that tend to create XML documents that contain mixed content and those that don't. ________________________________ From: G.

Would mixed content suffice? Data-oriented data can often be processed entirely with a "pull" model (XSLT or XQuery), while document-oriented mixed content needs to be processed with a "push" model (XSLT template rules). I'm not sure I've ever seen mixed content used in a data-oriented model, but mixed content is very important to document-oriented information. Does this help? ..................
