Maybe XProc might help lower the barrier in that regard...<br/></div> 2008-06-25T18:56:05.000ZJune 25, 2008 18:56great Thanks Tony, that''s great to hear.

It should be a nice addition for those wanting a standards based pure XML pipeline processing language.<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>Tony</div> 2008-06-25T17:53:34.000ZJune 25, 2008 17:53XProc on NetKernel Hi Steve, yes we''ve been tracking this one. 1060 had some discussions with the w3c group early on.

Hi Steve,

yes we''ve been tracking this one. 1060 had some discussions with the w3c group early on. We decided not to get involved in the standards committee at that time. Mainly because the scope of xproc was much more narrow than DPML (it is only XML) and DPML combined with the NetKernel core libraries already did pretty much what the intent of this standard was/is.

Once the specification stabilises we plan to release an compatible implementation in the form of a NetKernel module. It should be a nice addition for those wanting a standards based pure XML pipeline processing language.

Cheers,
Tony

Found a writeup on an interesting W3C upcoming standard called XProc, which seems to want to do a lot of what dpml does already:
