OK, until now you are making a technical point from a convenience functionality. Which is fair, but IMHO doesn't really pay off from what we are losing from an architectural and developer POV: we have to maintain two drivers, keeping them in sync and evolving them at the same pace, which requires a lot of effort. Way too much, for having just the commercial convenience of being able to switch drivers and version between a demo and an uncrippled version (true, this convenience would apply to other scenarios as well). But the embed driver is here and this is not really a choice anymore, at least for 1.x, so enough ranting.
Personally, I for one would have no current use for Xindice were it not for the embedded version. Nor do I have any current visions of future uses for anything but the embedded version. I certainly hope this is not evidence of a movement to do away with the embedded version...
Should not the embedded version be the real core of Xindice around which other access methods are wrapped (e.g. XMLRPC, whatever)?
