Maybe. This kind of change is easy to make later, so I'd like to stick to a hardcoded menu interface for now.

But that is just a random > thought. :-) No XML, please! XML is a holy sh*t. Do you know how many pages you must read to understand it completely? XML is widely used only because it is a standard, so many utilities are provided. XML is bloated, ugly, and space-inefficient. It would be interesting to think why CSS2 is not based on XML, even though nearly all technologies related to WWW are based on XML nowadays. The designer of CSS2 must be a sane person. Okuji
