Yes -- I'm intrigued by all that Python seems capable of, and also by *who*
is using and promoting it. Very broad range of people from the
stereotypical technoid at one extreme to the philosopher at the other;
there doesn't seem to be a "typical Python user." (In that regard, too, it
recalls Lisp....)

How does Python's X*L-processing performance compare with Java's? (I
realize you've got a vested interest in reporting that it compares
favorably. ;)  And any word on the reportedly soon-to-be-available alpha
release of an XSL processor?

Thanks!
