Quick question--what are the specific advantages to libxml/gnome-xml that make us want to use it over the PyXML modules? I took a look at the library reference for the module (http://xmlsoft.org/libxml.html) and it seems to offer the same things as the PyXML package: regular parser, SAX interface, DOM stuff, etc. I'm probably just missing the advantages of it--could someone detail them for me?

The GNOME >xml-parser can do this: Check out (http://xmlsoft.org/xml.html). This definately seems like an advantage, but I guess I don't really understand what it means for an XML parser to be CORBA compliant. Does it have to implement some sort of interface? Sorry, this is just my ignorance, but how do the gnome xml parsers accomplish this? Thanks much for any help anyone could provide on enlightening me! Brad
