Sorry. :-) Did I bring back some trauma memories ? :-)

In the same way that we no longer write applications in assembly language,
I am just glad that SAX-style parsing isn't still the standard way of doing
things these days and that we now have libraries which can build a document
tree we can ask questions about and easily iterate through.

As mentioned above, there's a really good reason SAX has been left behind
as an acceptable method, because the alternatives are so much better.

Simon.
