There has been some discussion about the API again.
I like it, but ... please start now.

Yes, and I'm affraid I'm one of them.
I'm just a simple VB programmer in a non-profit organisation who
sees the value of using XML in data management, but can't produce
anything valuable if I don't have a API or DLL (oeps, I don't know
the difference I'm affraid. I'm dumb too you see :-) which is
supported by a larger part of the XML community.
I need something simple to start working with.
On the other hand I fully agree with the concern of Don Park
that the object-oriented design knowledge should find it's place in
the XML-future that he thinks, along with me, that it deserves.
*** I'm not quoting Don here and I can't express myself very well in
English. So bringing those two aspects together here might result
here in me missing the ball completely here with this sentence :-)

That is why I fully support Peter's proposal :
>There was never any suggestion it would be the only API.
>Let's assume there are 3 APIs.

> - Object based
> - grove based
GO FOR IT. NOW.
