Thanks for the tip!

[sorry if this is getting off topic -- I know this may not be a plt
specific problem]

After much struggling I got sxpath and txpath to work. It turns out I
was doing something like:

  (define doc '(html (body (h1 "MY Header"))))
  ((sxpath '(// html body)) doc) 
   =>
  '()

instead of returning (html ...) as I would have expected.

It turns out that I had an off-by-one error and should have been doing:
  (define doc '(html (body (h1 "MY Header"))))
  ((sxpath '(// body)) doc) 
   =>
  '((body ...))

So I thought things were broken, when it was just me tripping over
myself.

Also, I couldn't find an implementation of Oleg's pre-post-order
function, so I just quickly ported it plt-scheme.  I don't quite
understand how what is included in the above .plt's is supposed to allow
you to do XSLT like translations -- but again, that may me just me not
having this stuff figured out yet.  Oh well, I'll keep plugging away.

Thanks,
Ben
