  Ok, I always forget to check the forum availability on
SF.net projects, I only think to check for mailing list...

  Thank you.  I'd be very pleased to join you.  I'll
contact you off list.

  Ok, I missed them at the first glance.  Actually, that
answers a few more questions I has (why not use XPath

  Unfortunately, it is far from Belgium and quite
expensive :-(.  And as I already went to XML Prague, I doubt
