Yes -- I am kinda sorta working with Craig on this baby, although my time is limited. Anyhow, what we're doing first is 'grover' which takes a grove plan and an ESIS stream (i.e., from nsgmls) and makes a grove. Atop that you could implement DSSSL or, I think, XSL, or basically just interact with the grove as a programmer. Our intention is not so much to write a competing DSSSL processor (although that would be a good thing) so much as to have a bottom-up programming tool which is good for people who really wish to work with groves. Ideally, you could attach databases as well and make grove representations of them also. Our feeling is that the problem of the next 10 years will be the problem of data "addressability", and that groves provide the most viable solution to this issue which we are currently aware of. > But I imagine it uses SP to parse documents. Yes, well, it takes ESIS streams, so yes, that's SP right now AFAIK. -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
