I'm in complete agreement with Chuck.  I also attended Steve's tutorials
at the Tcl 2002 conference, and found them to be very enlightening.  I've
ended up using tDOM since it was so much easier to get working with it,
than fighting the build process for the TclXML packages.

I've been thoroughly impressed with tDOM, it's speed, it's
syntax/ease-of-use, and the fact that it can be made to work out of the
box as an AOLserver shared library.

It's nice to have choices.  I'd suggest people do like Chuck suggested, 
and give each a try, and then go with either and/or both based on your own 
experiences.
