Uche, is that "interesting" as in "interesting problem to solve" or "interesting"
as in "what a poor solution you've chosen" :-)

If it's the former, check www.paratuberculosis.org to see the output of the current
implementation. If it's the latter, I know I've currently got a *very* poor design.
I can only plead lack of time and still incomplete knowledge of the way to
pythonically process XML. Also, I originally wrote all this processing using the
MSXSL beta from Fall 1998 (anyone remember that?). But I'm learning fast, thanks to
the excellence of python and the excellence of the available XML tools.

Actually, on Alexandre's suggestion, I've started looking into 4Suite Server, and
I'm mightily impressed.

When I get the time, I'm going to migrate over to 4SS. It's a very powerful suite
of software.

Also, I'm intrigued by the possibility of a read/write cDomlette. Do you have any
idea when 4Suite 0.12 might be available?

Many thanks to all in the Python/XML initiative,

Alan Kennedy.
