[JDEV] BeOS Client

[Joseph Jones]

DOM: Document Object Model. It's the name given to the API/OM 
surrounding an XML parser.

I was doing a little research yesterday on how to hook Python to a non-
Python application, and it seems feasible (though I still don't quite 
understand how it would ALL work.). 

I'll get a hold of the Python guys ASAP to see how I could wrap their 
parser to do what work I needed. 

Thanx.
