Hmmm....we seem to have interpreted the question differently. I thought she wanted to take information from web pages and put them into traditional databases, not XML/SGML/HTML repositories like Texcel. For repositories, the best route is for the repository vendor to support the DOM directly, as we intend to. I can't say anything about dates, though.
