I think we're getting to the point where the most productive next step is to implement the library and see how it works in practice. Except for one issue: Q: Should genx produce canonical XML output? I've worked on a couple projects in recent months where the XML messages would sometimes or always need to be signed, and I'm developing the general feeling that the world holds a *lot* of dsig technology; in private correspondence with some folks here I've heard horror stories about what people do to get canonical XML: parse, load into DOM, reserialize (a horror story in a high-volume app). So I had the impression that if genx produced canonical XML that would be A Good Thing particularly if the cost was low. The idea doesn't seem to be getting much of a welcome here. Would anyone like to take this opportunity to shout "Yes, the world needs this!" or "No, the denominator of the cost/benefit ratio is zero!". Cheers, Tim Bray http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/
