i'm definitely starting to appreciate the amount of work i have ahead
of me learning all of the different pieces. my local bookstore doesn't
have kay's XSLT book, but i have doug tidwell's book from o'reilly,
so that should hold me there.
anyway, as i said, back to reading. good thing i don't have a life.
