OK, thx, I'll ask around. Exln is constantly touted on the webm yahoo board and I think some people see the valuation of webm or even tibco (which itself is 6x webm) and think, wow! exln is a jackpot, blah blah.

But without the adapter layer its hard for me to see any of these workflow/xml mapper companies making much of a dent in a tibco or webm mkt cap... they are more of a tools company then. But again, just because it doesn't LOOK to me like exln has an adapter library/integration module server that doesn't mean they don't have it.

Here's what it looks like as an example
