[REBOL] Re: Google + SOAP

Gavin...
I agree with you, that it's really a matter of perception. And to
clarify I consider XML just that, the W3C 10/6/2000 XML 1.0 (second
edition)recommendation (and perhaps XML Namespaces 01/14/1999). When I
talk about XML or SOAP I'm not speaking of the plethora of ancillary
technologies like XSLT (which can be quite complex), XPATH, JDOM etc.
I think the fundamental question is Rebol going to have an XSLT engine
available? This would probably be the most difficult aspect of
supporting XML processing in Rebol. That and XMLQuery! If Rebol is to
coexist with heterogenous systems then fullfledged XML (and SOAP)
support is mandatory. Even if it is complex, unwieldy or even ugly ;)
