<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm doing a project at cisco here and am planning
to use jdom as my xml api.. however i will have to justify my choice.. (vs.
the w3c dom api).. and like any other big corporation, cisco is not among
those who live on the bleeding edge.. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>if you're working for cisco and have been
officially endorsed to use jdom, can you please contact me?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

another company.. how did you convince your not-so-technical project
leads?</FONT></DIV>
