Hi Andrew,
Well, I've never used sxml-match, but, based on a cursory
examination of the documentation: SDOM, being a DOM implementation, is
useful for doing high-level manipulation of XML documents, and the
events subsystem in particular is useful for responding to events that
occur as the document is manipulated -- as it is initially parsed or
during subsequent modification. If you don't require this level of
interactive response in your project, then, yes, SDOM might be
overkill / the wrong paradigm. I wrote it, though, because I needed
an XML system that behaved, well, like a DOM implementation --
including maintaining order of event cascades and error handlers, etc.
Hope this helps.
Julian

Please pardon the impertinence of a newbie (to XML), but could
you perhaps give us a few pointers to what these (event
handling) extensions are good for? I've been using sxml-match
in a scheme re-implementation of a project that I'd previously
implemented in python with it's xml.dom.minidom system. I
vastly prefer the sxml/sxml-match approach for what I'm doing,
but I wonder if I'm missing something...
Cheers,
