Re: [Bug 2925] - Parameter set from DOM Node, broken

Dunno.  Gary, what's your summary at this point?  Do you want to try
something or should I?

I would like it to work as before.  To date, I don't think any work has
been done to make it so.

Wow, I got my moneys worth on that one. I sort of had my head
in the sand cranking out the unit test code for the SQL Extensions
and I am a little confused with the outcome.

Do I need the code Gary outlined in bugzilla or should it work as
before after Scott's check in ??

I just tested it, and with Gary's workaround it works fine, but it still
does not work as it did before.
