Yes... We should definitely use tags which are standard (maybe find out
what the tex refs project uses)... Also, as I said, this was just a
quick hack around the xml.dom.minidom example. I really didn't spend
time learning the right tools and such. On further reading, xslt seems a
bit more tractable than before, but unfortunately, I couldn't get the xt
tools which Luc recommended to work on my box.  (Thats mostly a problem
with my java newbie status).

As far as converting to html goes, I think we might be able to find
xml2html converters on the web... I would think they are pretty
ubiquitous. I could find a few with a google search... I dont know about
xml2latex...

No. Another thing which should be done. Maybe we should contact Peter
Karp...

Sorry. I didn't mean to hurry you :) Please take your time...

But I just wanted to get an opinion of whether this approach is worth
pursuing for the long run?
