Ah, fair enough; I misread it a bit.

I presume you're asking for an example that can accurately transform a
document which has multidimensional classmarks into the usual 1.5
dimensions of an XML tree? Well, I conceded quite a while ago that
this is impossible in some cases [your rants on the subject were
excellent], but I still think that there is a balance to be achieved.
I think you're starting to try to capture this by asking people to
consider class usage, and issue materials that guide people into
creating accessible classes. That's good.

I have a draft letter in my email client from some time ago that
discusses this in some (technical and philospohical) detail, but I
didn't get around to polishing and sending it. I'll see if I can
salvage anything from it.
