Re: 'XML browser'

I really like this line of thought, but given the need to stay focused
on the XML linking stuff for the next couple of months, I (somewhat
reluctantly) am going to rule this level of discussion out of bounds
for the moment.  Unfortunately there is no ideal place for it; there
is no comp.text.xml list, and I don't know that we have arrived at the
right time to start one.  (Does someone want to set up an open XML
mailing list?  It's a lot of work.)  Until some better alternative
appears, I suggest that discussions like this one take place in
comp.text.sgml.
