They probably are valid, if, um, verbose. It was an off the cuff comment, and more related to troubles I had with excel and XML and "binding" datasources or some such. Can't even recall exactly. Bear in mind that I was burned with Quark and it's "XML abilities", so I'm a little suspicious of the "universal" nature of XML. Note: Quark is much better with XML now, but prior, with Avenue, it was a nightmare, vs. inDesign, which was a breeze and acted exactly how I'd expect it to, or at least closer than Quark 5-6 did. I guess I let that color my view a little. I mean, theoretically, with XML, DTDs and XSLT, any XML should be pretty malleable, right? I still kind of wonder if dropping XML controller files from one framework into another would work, and if not, if it's trivial to have XSLT transform the XML into whatever format the framework expects. Well, I'll take back what I said about M$'s XML... if it validates, it's valid. :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:245702 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
