Thankyou David for the feedback, and good luck in becoming a new dad. I still need to understand more about how to POST XML to a server, but after discussions with other mapbuilder developers I think that we might use a slightly different proxy interface. Rather than encode and return XML inside a GET parameter, I think we will return raw XML the same as if we were accessing an XML document on the web. Our project has the advantage that we only target Mozilla 1.3+ and IE6+ so we can use the javascript XML functions. (Of note, we are using the Sarissa XML library). At the moment, I working on a GET interface. For the PUT interface I'm expecting to use FRAMES and hope to copy some of the XMLJS ideas. If we change our minds and decide to extend XMLJS, we will let you know and offer the code to you. On a side note, you may be interested to change your javascript commenting style to fit in with http://jsdoc.sourceforge.net . It means that you can build javadoc documentation like: http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net/docs/jsdoc/index.html More inline.
