Also, I think all the libraries would benefit from this approach. But it doesnt require that everyone agree. Others are free to continue with the current "tightly coupled" system. The only problem is if the serialization library depends on another whose author makes an interfacing breaking change. This should happen very, very rarely - and in fact doesn't happen often. If it happens too often, I'll reduce my dependency on such libraries. Robert Ramey
