Well, that is what I would expect since you hinted that you wanted the XML/XSLT tools in base. By the way, I would be with you on the "don't use this for configuration files". :) My take on this, have the appropriate tools in ports for now. We can re-discuss if it belong in base later on... after we have something that uses it. Regards, -- Mario S F Ferreira - DF - Brazil - "I guess this is a signature."
