Thanks for this. There are things I need to look into here, I'll get
back on this when I've had time. I'm experiencing 2 different New
Language Learning-Curve Syndromes at the same time. *grin*

Odd. The information's being extracted from the tags so the file's being
parsed in some way, but not according to the supposed file sheet. Perhaps
Safari "supports" XML but not XSLT ?

It's served from the website as Content-Type: text/xml and the filename
extensions are .xml. I don't know how a Mac manages these things ?
