Hmm. Thinking about HA, I have nothing against using Windows for the
user interface parts, but there is just no way I am going to rely on
Win for the embedded and 24x7 parts.

Thanks! Will try!

OK... First a bona fide question - is there a standardised way
(such as an XML application) for the schemas? I assume
pretty much any complex xAP application will have to work
with a bunch of schemas, and it would be nice if they were
all available in some standardised, parseable format.

Then just more of a "wish list" thing - how about a simple,
C-language-without-threads-and-other-fancy-stuff library
for just parsing and converting xAP wire format messages?
And preferably under something like the Apache/BSD
license, so that it can actually be used in an embedded,
commercial application.

Is there some application/code that could be considered
the "reference" implementation to test against?
