Hi Rahul! :) good point, I think that this is yet another good reason to work on sandbox before, I'll try to stay close as much as possible to the current Digester concept, my idea/purpose/intensions are providing a new Digester and not replacing it. Of course, suggestions/participation/feedbacks/guidelines are always accepted, many thanks in advance!!! Simo
