At the end-of-day - most of this stuff will be judgement call on Ruud's part anyways - Should something like ADSI be rolled into Kixtart ? of course not - even though we do have a few simple builtins that are ADSI-like (INGROUP for example) ...

Should the full XML DOM be implemented native in Kixtart ? of course not. But a few stream-lined XML functions maybe should be one day - when XML becomes more mainstream.

SOT: I do have a comment on growth though. Of the two "types" of growth (adding functions to the langauge versus adding to the language itself), wish there was more of the later on the horizon. My two cents.
