Yes, please, Sarah! :-)

The "built-in" example stacks about XML are not a very good starting 
point for
"absolute xml beginners"...

What i would like to see are the basics!

We know "basically" what XML is, how it might be organized etc, but 
e.g. how can we
get a list of all attributes and their values, just to get an overview 
of the otherwise unknown
XML file?

The visual XML tree is a fine thing, but if you do not need it or 
cannot use a graphical
representation of it, how to preceed?

And the substacks of the XML example stack are popping up errors all 
the time :-(
(Looks like it looses the connection to the XML external?)

Especially the "XMLtest", so this is useless to most of us XML 
newbies...

The "?" button is not working!
(But i do NOT want to talk about the design ;-)

Maybe this IS all in the example stack, but i cannot get started...
And many others probably, too...
