It sounds like it. In that way they can be easily used in other projects, both Apache and abroad. The best approach would be for you to move this discussion to the broader mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] where we can more easily see if it duplicates or enhances existing projects/tools. Would you be able to describe your ideas in a little more detail and perhaps explain some examples of use. These words could later form the core of the documentation. Do you see these utilities as together forming one "component" or can they potentially live separately. By the way, i would suggest that you use a better Subject line for the email. This technique attracts attention on these busy lists, and makes it much easier to find and refer to topics at a later date. --David
