Victor,

Could you please elaborate. I for one, and I am sure more on this list, would
like to know more about your decision to not move forward on the XML front.

We are looking at this decision currently. Our system has a low enough volume
that we are looking at XML for all data communication, as opposed to serialized
objects.

Any thoughts or experience you have on this topic would be most welcome.
