bb> Jan,

   Hi, Bill.

bb>     It appears that there has been a significant misunderstanding.
bb> Scott Little is not proposing to replace the distribution nodelist
bb> with an XML nodelist, but to run an XML based nodelist in parallel
bb> with the standard one.

   That has become clear now. He was following up the Husky group that
threatened to replace unwilling *Cs and it looked like he was contaminated by
them.

bb>     This would harm nobody.

   Probably not.

bb>     By all means, let him go ahead.

   I can't stop him. But I'll stay wary, as my job requires me to be.

bb>     As an aside it is a little sad that you write far better
bb> English than he does.

   Don't flatter me, Bill, or my hat will squeeze.

bb> But then I don't speak Strine, either. :-)

   I take 'strine' to be short for 'english as prononced by the Ozzees'. Am I
right?
