we're currently adding xml serialisation for jsieve over at apache.
there are number of concrete use cases that this serialisation needs to
satisfy.
This entire discussion might have been less painful if the concrete use
cases the jsieve developers have had been brought up at the beginning.
The discussion that has progressed has been almost completely abstract;
the one time someone actually said "for example, such-and-such doesn't
work" the subthread seemed to resolve itself almost directly. As is, the
"does it support namespaces" thread is completely confused in my mind
because I have been unable to determine what you consider necessary and
sufficient, Robert.
(Fortunately, I'm just a bystander on this doc, so I'm not sweating my
failure here.)
