In the EU monsato are the causing great problems with there huge power in the US Goverment being used for trade embargo's to prevent the EU being able to lable foods produced from GM modified crops and GM Hormone enhanced livestoke as such.
It is very scary to see the might of the US political system being used in such a neglect of the right of the individual to know what they are eating.
In the UK this is causing a massive backlash with store chain after store banning the use of GM products in their own label brands.
When will big companies learn to stop bullying the public into accepting products they are not ready for?
How about a GPL for GM seed crops for the third world which don't require expensive nitration and fertilization.

After many hit and miss-attempts the combination of a java front end and perl back-end in the end the solution gravitated towards using XML over HTTP.
:-) but here are my reasons anyway
Good to see others thinking the same
1) Vast array of HTTP servers ( Apache with mod-perl worked wonders in this case ) .
2) Debugging in human readable format using a browser
3) XML Parsers/Checkers available in most languages ( Perl and Java I know about )
4) Resource location using good old DNS. Rather than re-inventing the wheel ( CORBA springs to mind )
