Would it make sense...

[Tony T]

Question: Would it make sense for pc based xPL applications to each have
their own vbscripting engine built-in?

My thought is that each app _could_ run a 'message received' and 'message
sent' script in response to the app receiving/sending messages (and perhaps
other hooks relevant to the particular app).

The reason being that in some cirumstances it might be nice to be able to
override the contents of messages to allow applications/devices that have
nothing in common to communicate directly (rather than needing a scripting
engine like xplhal), or to do something clever that the original programmer
might not of thought of.

Although there are a couple of generic name/value pairs for OSD/TTS that
can
be appended to ANY schema, this would be much more flexible. And totally
user configurable (if you know vbscript, though javascript could also be
supported possibly).

Any thoughts?

Thanks
