Since we are designing this protocol from scratch and have a very short deadline, I foolishly thought existing XML tools would speed development. ( If we could use java this would probably be true. ) XML also seems to be flexible enough to survive the inenvidable tweaks that need to be added to a protocol as time goes by. The problems we've had in the past have been that our approaches weren't flexible enough to deal with unforseen requirements. - - Booker C.
