It wasn't a matter of expectations or whether groves are worthwhile -- they 
certainly seem to be.  I'm just curious what capabilities are available and 
if there's anything obvious I'm missing, in the sense that SAX might be 
obvious to someone who's worked with XML for a while, but not to a 
newcomer.

So my question still stands: which of these capabilities are there today? 
That is, which linking / querying / navigating / whatever specs have 
already been designed to work with groves and for which of these are there 
tools today?
