Hey everyone

    Sorry we at Fourthought have been kinda slow keeping up wth this list and
4DOM and such.  We had to pick up an extra contract to pay for the python
conferences ;)

    We're  gonna have some free time in August to do some major work on 4DOM and
4XSLT, including getting 4XSLT up to date with the latest XSLT draft and
breaking out the patterns into 4XPath (or some clever name).

    I wanted to bring up the DOM interface unification topic again as we will be
working on 4DOM this month and may have time to experiment with some Lit/ python
interfaces.  Last we left off, we couldn't decide how many and how lit the
interfaces should be.  Is anyone still doing work to come up with a unified
interface(s)?  Is it something we still want to consider? Should we
(Fourthought) just produce a lit interface as pythonic as possible and then
mold/wrap pydom and 4dom to meet it?

    For my 2 cents worth, I guess I see a need for 2 interfaces.  The one
defined by W3C and a totally pythonic interface.  Then a wrapper that can be
used to turn a DOM compliant interface implementation into the pythonic
interface.  ORB/ORBless I think we decided is orthagonal to this decision.
