Well, BALL does. It finds many, many small expressions withing XML attributes when it produces wep pages.

So far I did not understand why does this have to be port-specific in the first place. Maybe that would be the killer argument. Maybe not: at least in my case, I'd be *happy* to have a way to compile-time the feature away eventually, since I know these settings will not change. /Jörg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
