I guess the only reason why I didn't go with XML::TEILite is that I thought as TEI becomes more established that more people would be interested in adding additional tools. I guess one can't really predict the future and if later this prediction becomes true and people do such a thing and more 'group'ing namespace can be considered then. I am okay with the namespace XML::TEILite. -- //========================================================\\ || D.
