It's cool. We're talking about how OpenThought works with C::A.

I didn't know that. I've really only just started working with XML.

Isn't there some CGI::Application::XML plug-in or other such animal?

I think I'd like to explore the XML angle more as well. This actually sounds
more enticing than using JS frames which, from my experience using them,
different browsers handle things differently or not at all. Aside from that,
XML seems like a good horse to bet on for future development avenues. But I
still need to research the DHTML future.
