Well, I'm certainly glad Chuck and Michael enjoyed
the tutorial... tell your friends and neighbours!

I believe the build system is considerably improved
since September, mainly thanks to the efforts of
Andreas Kupries.  Also, pre-compiled binaries will
be appearing in various distributions soon so it
should be much easier for people to get started with
the TclXML family of packages.

I'm interested in getting folk's feedback on the
syntax/ease-of-use aspect.  If you find the TclDOM or
TclXSLT script API difficult to use (or understand),
or if you find the tDOM API better then please let
me know.  Design work on version 3.0 of these packages
is just starting so now is the time to propose changes.

Cheers,
Steve Ball
