Len,

Well this implies that XML needs it's own protocol, and I would probably
agree with that. I don't believe that SOAP really embraces all that can
be done with XML, even XML ver 1.0.

Here we do searches on XML documents, and if we have more than one
machine, we can grid the searches to get results back a little faster.

Things like SOAP aren't really setup to do this kind of thing with the
kind of speed that having the XML would suggest would be required to do
the cool things.. just my opinion.

Where is this going...? Len is perceptive and probably right.
Organisation and the way all the components are assembled is the key to
everything.. life.. the universe..
everything.. change the six cosmological constants even slightly and you
can end up with something entirely different...
