Hi Linda,

Sure, here are my favorites :
I like the dynamic typing and Data Guides as developed in Lore/Lorel.
I like the DTD/XSchema is database schema concept in several XML databases.
I like the X-Tension interfacing with dynamic data as in Tamino.
I like the ranking, workflow and powerful text retrieval in SIM-DMS.
I like the view concept as explored in Strudel.
I like the overall vision in Verso.
