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.
