Dear all,
	I am currently using Xindice as the XML Repository in my PhD research 
on
ECA Rules for semi-structed data. I intend to create a mechanism in 
order to
be able to see what have changed after an update. I mean for example 
instead
of returning the number of elements that changed, the update method 
return
exaclty what have changed or create a "pointer" to it. Does anyone 
have any
idea of how can I achieve that ?
Do you actually want to return the data that was modified or just a 
list of keys to modified documents?

	I am thinking of creating a framework over the Xindice API and get the
results I want by overriding the already existing methods. Do you 
believe
that the use of XMLObjects would help ?
XMLObjects were cut out of 1.1.
I'd appriciate any new idea or recommendation .
