   Quoting Scott Little on Sun 29 Dec 2002  9:45 to Jan Vermeulen:

sl>>> Not necessarily.  XML capable Nets, Regions or Zone can issue
sl>>> their own XML Net/Region/Zonelists, without the cooperation of
sl>>> other Nets/Regions/Zones.
JV>>     You will still need to send in your standard nodelist segment to
JV>> the RC or ZC in order to get listed.

sl> Yes, so?

   And then you get back a standard nodelist - which you will need to convert
into XML in order you have a complete nodelist as required by policy.

sl> Again, and again, and again: backward compatibility is a given, it
sl> will not work any other way.  We know this.  Get over it.

   Again and once more: you will need nodelist-to-xml software, you know, that
software they said is a PITA to code.

sl>>> themselves out of a job as XML capable systems will 'route around
sl>>> the damage' by organising their own distribution channels.
JV>>     Why don't you start your xmlnet right away, if that is what you
JV>> want?

sl> Alternate distribution of XML nodelist segments doesn't require a
sl> new network.

   On second thought: you're right. You just need a standard nodelist to begin
with...
