Thank you, everyone. Yes, my XML is well-formed, but, it's also pretty
simple, and, from what our vendor tells me, pretty consistent. I just
need to convert it to SGML for our company publishing system. XSLT is
probably better for this, I'm sure, but, it's enough for me just to
learn Ruby. (-: Plus, I love Ruby.
Thanks again.
