What am I missing?

- I'm still not happy with the Exception handling (from implementor's and user's view). See my posts a while back. I'm not convinced that the current way is the right way. That is: IMHO XMLDBException should not extend RuntimeException but Exception and there should be default messages for the predefined error codes.

You may be right about this. I like not being forced to catch exceptions but overall it might be better to make people consider what they're doing.


- Discussion about how to do linking (using XLink). First, define
  requirements, then define API and finally do experimental
  implementations.


This seems like a separate project. Do you really see it being part of the API?


Optional:
- JDOM support (applies to Java only)

Java only pretty much removes it from consideration.



After this update I also want to make the existence of the API more widely
known and issue a call for implementations.

Yeah! To every developer who is subscribed to this list and is doing (or planning to do) an implementation of XML:DB: Please bring in your ideas, comments, oppinions!!! That's what will help make the API (and XML databases) universal and accepted.
