XMPP works by opening two streaming XML documents, one for reading and one for writing. Stanza of XML are read from or written to those streams to communicate between the Client and Server. When working with XMPP there have been times when I've felt like "this would be really simple in XSLT", but since it's a stream and not a document I end up using other languages. An XSLT-like language for streaming XML would be nice, but XMPP is pretty much the only place I've ever seen streaming XML. -- Ben Mendis Support Specialist Antenna House 10410 Kensington Pkwy Suite 207 Kensington, Maryland 20895 USA Phone: +1 240-752-6687 Email: ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: www.antennahouse.com
