Your opinion seems to be shared by a lot of other Quixote users. I'll probably take another stab at the subtype implementation but not just now. Right now I'm dreaming of more ambitious plans. I would like the XML to escape its string bonds and become a first class PTL citizen. That means new syntax and that the return values of XML templates would be some form of tree structure instead of an htmltext object. The Quixote publisher would serialize the tree before writing it back to the client. There could be optional DTD validation and pretty printing to make debugging easier. Neil
