Re: [XBL] Editorial: make example for 3.7.3 easier

In section 3.7.3, I suggest simplifying the example. It currelny says:
 
"Consider the following completely useless but conveniently simple binding:"

I'm sorry, but this example is hardly simple (particulary as you have added content inheritance into the mix). It could be made a bit simpler if you added id's to the last 2 bindings (call them b and c). And maybe add a litte diagram showing that b->a and then when c is added to the mix it forms: 
(ROOT) -> c (implicit) -> b -> a 

Here is the new code, 

<xbl xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/xbl">
 <binding id="a">
  <template> l <inherited> l <content> o </content> - </inherited> W </template>
 </binding> 
 <binding element="[X]" extends="#a" id="b">
  <template> e <inherited> error </inherited> o <content> r </content> </template>
 </binding>
 <binding element="[Y]" id="c">
  <template> H <inherited> error </inherited> l <content/> ! </template>
 </binding>
</xbl>

(note I also changed the last binding, is this correct?)

so, then the reader can see where each bit of content is coming from: 

c b a a a a a b b c c c
------------------------------ 
H e l l o - W o r l d !

(I think the above is right, but might be best to check it over;))
