For all documents where you are trying to encode more than 30 car-part entries, which you admit is the most likely case, encoding it in XML is sending less characters than your non-XML. Using a more compact schema language you can reduce this threshold even further. > and that a two-file system is somehow simpler than a one file > system. I never claimed this. However, at least in this case the two-file system is considerably more *efficient* (for significant numbers of car-parts) and *extensible* (unbounded set of data types) than the one-file system. -- Chris Burdess
