Re: XML Browser Project

[Guha <guha@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is what happened. As soon as we made
the free source announcement, some of
the thought leaders in the XML community
(Jon Bosak, James Clark, Tim Bray, et. al.)
and I started talking. It became clear
that James Clark's parser was the best
around, etc. 

We designed an API for applications within
Navigator to use his parser etc. He wrote
all that stuff.

Netscape legal strongly preferred that all
the sources that went out last week were
under NPL. (James Clark's parser is under
MPL). Thats why the first tar ball did not
include his parser and the next tar ball
will include it.

Hope this helps. No, we are not holding anything
back. 

Lot of work needs to be done, but its going
to be fun.
