Well, you may need to add regexp matching to XQL, but what does that mean? It doesn't mean that doing xql.el is bad, it just means that it may be useful to implement some extensions to the XQL standard, as well. (For example, the Perl module XML::XQL implements such extensions.) BillP has posted that he doesn't want to maintain W3 anymore (I think), and that he wishes that somebody write an XML display engine. This requires an XSL implementation and XQL is (pretty much) a module which is needed in XSL. So xql.el would be useful in that context, as well. kai -- This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context. -- David Moser
