Super - I'll definitely have to do that.

Oooh, I know that I'd appreciate that.  Though, I can't speak for others.

On a related note...with both sxml-match and/or WebIt! would anyone mind
sharing the preferred way you go from a port with XML data to sxml-match or
xml-match?

For example, to use the built in xml module I say:

(require xml)
(define xexpr (xml->xexpr (document-element (read-xml (url->port url)))))
(match xexpr ...)

I've looked into the WebIt! docs and while probably obvious - it's escaping
me this morning :-)

Thanks!
