No it's not.

I know the technology to compile XPL, or at least give it
all the advantages of a compiled language.

<yoda> Long and hard, pondered these things have we. </yoda>

But, I haven't brought it out yet, because it involves taking
some existing low-level language implementation approaches,
and carefully recasting them for the context in which we will
want to use XPL. (E.g. the Java Virtual Machine.)

And because XPL parsing in Java must be worked out in
any case; and is the right platform for egroup prototyping.

And because we have enough to think about already.

But once we have our prototype standard XP-based XPL setup
working, and reasonably documented, I've got the goods.

No hands here, but I'll be dashed interested in their specs.

I'm over-volunteered already, but I'm up for it anyway.

Reason is, I'm a website design newbie, and I need the
experience. Just as soon as I get over some modem/ppp
hitches on my new machine, which should be a matter of
days.
