Sounds pretty cool to me. I do not have my head around sharing taglibs like this easily yet, but you might break some ground here if you pursue this work. Though flexible the XMLSubsMatch is kind of limiting in that someone cannot just "register" their XMLSubs namespace on the fly. If you did pursue this we could look at how these packages could be easily installed with CPAN like ease. If we had enough "standard" extensions like this, Apache::ASP could be an ever increasingly useful platform. --Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
