 	I've read the issue of O'Reilly's late _Web Journal_ about
 XML; it was a nice overview, but it's now outdated in many respects.
 Sean McGrath's _XML By Example_ is sitting in my to-read pile, but I
 haven't gotten around to it yet.  If anyone has read other XML books,
 brief recommendations (or warnings) for the book page would be
 great...

One comment on Steven Holzner's XML Complete. Its Java based and when I got
last March there were already problems with the code. It was based on an early
version of MS Parser for Java and by the time I got the book JDK 1.1 and a
corresponding version of the MS Parser were in place and most of the code in
the book didn't work. I haven't revisited the book with Python in hand to
translate and see if it works. 

Back to <lurk> mode. 8^)
