Oh man, you need XML_XPath, you can move through XML like butter
with this class, and it is dang fast. And since you said that it
could be a while before you finish then you could probably lean on
the fact that people will have domxml...just a thought.

I hear you, some of these classes on the web are just junk...really,
I just like take other classes because me and a clean slate get it
on like an impotent man with a virgin (hey, I can't help what comes
out of my mind). Anyway....good luck and let me know if you need
help...I will probably promise more than I can do and then do it...
