Re: [xmlvm-users] Suggestions

Hi John,

absolutely good suggestions and I agree with what you say. The current
problem is that we are focusing on some more fundamental changes that will
make XMLVM better in the long term. The things you mentioned can me mildly
annoying, but are not a huge problem right now.

But hey, we accept patches *huge wink* ;) Otherwise, I definitely have it on
the lists of things to improve in the future.
