Wow, thank you both. Gosh, I love the "little pieces" way Unix works. Here's what I'd change:
1. move from plain text to XML as the transfer method (hidden from user) as the default communication method;
2. tell the Java people they've got the right idea but they didn't implement it right - building their apps is composed of lots of pieces (good) that are almost impossible to configure to work correctly directly (bad).
