in reply to ANNOUNCE: XML::Smart 1.0

I have to admit I would have found XML::MultiType a far better name than XML::Smart - since it has the same API as Object::MultiType.

By naming it "Smart" you have all the problems of the ambiguity of "smart" as a word, and lose the people who have already figured out what Object::MultiType is.

(sorry to be so boring :)

    And I wanted the name to reflect it as a riff on XPath. Ah well.
