It seems c.d.o.misc attracts the most crossposts and I wonder if isn't because it really doesn't have a clear definition of what it is for. And lets be honest here ... FAQ's are rarely if ever read.

Perhaps our benefactor would consider renaming it ... for example to c.d.o.web where it could be used for posts specifically related to JDeveloper (Java) and XML as they relate to Oracle.
