And at first I thought Dave wanted to develop an XML water closet.

This is what I do when I'm checking the word count of articles. It gives me
the chance to use one of my favorite stylesheets: 

    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"/>

And people say that XSLT is verbose.
