I hope I haven't come across as sounding down on XML. The
truth is, I think it is terrific. What gets me testy is
having to learn something new with the clock sounding
like a metronome while it ticks down the minutes to the
impending deadline. (Especially so when on the day *before*
the big demo the client wants a feature that requires
a re-write of the fundamental program design. Yikes!)

And while the object nature of the XML parser is wonderful
in principle, it can be enormously frustrating when you
are trying to understand what is going on. Isn't there
a simple way to look *inside* those suckers!? But I've
muddled my way though, and I'm learning a lot. I've already
thought up three or four more uses for XML. And I greatly
appreciate all the help.

Cheers,

David

P.S. This really is a great place for XML info. But
after sitting in front of a computer for hours on end,
I could really use a good book to take to bed. And
suggestions?
