I was asking for workarounds to known bugs in the version of the software I'm 
using. I've made the switch to ActiveTcl-8.4.0.1, which (mostly) works with 
CDATA sections properly, but doesn't give the internal DTD information from a 
file. I've taken to reopening the XML file and parsing it myself with regexes 
etc. to get that information out. Works for now.

I thought of a tclkit, but I've never created one, and with 14 days left 
before my deadline, now doesn't feel like the best time to learn! My project 
needs to run on Windows, and I've never done any Windows work. I don't have a 
Windows compiler, much less any experience of using one.

For now, I'm still making progress with ActiveTcl-8.4.0.1, albeit with some 
horrific workarounds.
