The "but if your XML documents round-trip" that Lynne mentioned can be a very big but and might be a pretty big hurdle. As for MIF, a search of the archives might result in one members analysis of the bloat in file size caused by MIF and at what point saving diffs of MIF files is advantageous over saving whole binary versions. Now if you were to save MIF files to a versioning system, it would be a good exercise to see how much of the MIF could be eliminated before committing to the versioning system. Eric L.
