It's a good rule, but I don't know how helpful it is to someone doing XML processing. From what I can tell, the only XML library that uses Data.Text is libxml-sax, although tagsoup can probably be easily extended to use it. HXT, HaXml, and xml all use [Char] internally. -- Dave Menendez <d...@zednenem.com> <http://www.eyrie.org/~zednenem/> _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
