| So, what's everyone doing coding-wise?  Things have been too quiet
| here lately.

xmlproc version 0.30, with validation, is now released. This should be
considered a beta, but it works and is reasonably complete. (It
handles content model validation, all kinds of attributes exception
notation attributes, nested entities and even detects ambiguous
content models.)  Once I get some feedback and manage to polish the
code and APIs a bit more I should be able to release 0.31, at which
time I hope to be ready to announce the parser on xml-dev and
comp.text.sgml.

(xmlproc is at

Nothing is happening with saxlib yet. I left the planned release for
later, since a new SAX proposal will probably arrive quite soon now.
However, I've been thinking of adding drivers for htmllib, sgmllib and
Paul Prescods ESIS-driven parser. I also hope to be able to make a
driver for PyXMLTok.

I've got some ideas for tools for generating XML from Python, and
especially from databases, but I don't think I'll be able to find the
time to actually write anything for a while yet.

BTW: James Clark has now released expat, which is a newer version of
     XMLTok. Maybe the module should be updated?
