 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?
