Thanks Sebastiaan,
I popped off an email to him last night. I'm sure he's busy...
I just came to the board in case there was something I missed.
Your suggestion looks perfect to me. I've spent most of my day
in the 'XML Bible' and the JEP trying to figure something out
and just haven't come up with anything in the current format.
