Thanks for clarifying.  The application for ScrollKeeper I
have in mind is not using a browser directly, but serving
doc content with an HTTP server like Apache.  There are
several ways to use XML on a server (AxKit, Cocoon), so
using the XML Content List will be fine in that context.
The server can also convert content to HTML if it needs
to.  That approach can make ScrollKeeper-listed docs
available to any browser.
