Yup - and still they broke that by accident during development - and what happens with as8 ?

I might just be too burned in the past.

Can't our API just be the actual string ? then you can use a specific dmr to generate the string and we use it to "encode" it again ?

just a thought.

If the content extension doesn't make it in, I don't think that's a problem at all (why I thought it should be separated out into a separate plugin).

I believe the content extension is already there - thats how the file and xpath stuff is added. Rob Stryker ? speak up ;)
