I am enjoying this session on editing data structures.
The thing that has impressed me the most in the past few
weeks about xml is that finding a suitable authoring tool
is pretty much it must fit thing. The correct tool
for a particular type of job is important to success.
Is that true or have I not yet found a good universal xml
authoring tool?
