Many thanks for the link - will look at it after recovering from having spent 
some time in South West Ireland, supposedly whale-watching in force 6 winds.

I must admit that I find XML one of the most over-rated buzz-words in the 
history of IT: it exceeds EDI which has so many interpretations of the 
standard envelopes. I still don't see what it offers over SGML (which I *did* 
know once), but XML does have a popularity which means it is everywhere: 
which I fully understand helps everyone.

Anyway, I hope to have something to write about by the end of the week.

Cheers,
