Sorry I didn't notice the reply embedded in my message, I don't
usually read my own postings,but then I remembered you usually post
your comments in this way.


I wasn't asking about the concept of precompilers or about embedding
one language within another which I am acquainted with (I used
embedded SQL once), but about the usefulness of this particular
combination. For example, I didn't find embedded SQL really useful,
it seems the paradigms of SQL and other procedural languages don't fit
so well so their relation is not quite good. On the other hand, this
mixing of xml embedded in this way within PHP seems to me works quite
decently. But, of course, this is my opinion which is obviously
biased.
