thanks for your favorable comments. I have tried to understand a small
portion of xml related technology, and nothing more -- there are several
aspects which i do *not* know about -- but structures for xml-schemas -- i
think i know quite a bit.

I also *fully* agree that RELAX NG is the most important thing that is
happening at present. i am very sure it will be the technology that
prevails -- correctness is most important, and a correct solution vs an
incorrect one, i definitely believe everyone will be convinced of the
correct solution.

got some work to finish off -- thanks once again.
