Someone asked why I think Xerces will become the standard way to do CGI.

I recently took a class in XML from Northern Virginia Community College. The instructor seemed very knowledgeable in most areas (other than the DOM). He mentioned the Java XML parser built into the Apache Xerces project as being very advanced.

I visited the Apache Xerces site and it does seem that Xerces is an advanced project. The tie-in with Apache must help a lot, because a lot of us at work do CGI on an Apache server.

I wonder whether mere roll-your-own programming is going to be enough. With the Apache people running a full-blown effort to develop XML tools for Apache it seems to me that soon most non-Perl people doing Apache CGI work would want to use these tools.

That is what I meant.
