Dear Reader,

For many years the open source Berkeley DB libraries have been a
popular choice for embedded database applications.  It has been
so ubiquitously used that chances are, you rely on some software
product that embeds Berkeley DB.

It is therefore pretty exciting when SleepyCat, the maintainers
of Berkeley DB, announce that they will be releasing an XML-aware
version of their database software.  Our main feature this week,
from Paul Ford, explores Berkeley DB XML and its facilities.
Paul includes plenty of sample code to get you started.

In "Transforming XML" this month, Bob DuCharme looks at the upcoming
new version of XSLT, XSLT 2.0, and in particular, its support for
tokenizing strings.  Using the development branch of the popular
XSLT engine Saxon, Bob shows how an SVG polygon path can be
processed with XSLT 2.0.

Finally this week, Kendall Clark brings us our regular dose of
news from the XML community. It appears that development of the
core XML specification itself is held up by the need to incorporate
Internationalized Resource Identifiers, which are destined to
supsersede URIs. Kendall also comments on the recent release of
new XQuery specifications from the W3C.
