Thanks Mike,

Say, I change <DESCRIPTION /> to <DESCRIPTION>the description goes 
here</DESCRIPTION>.   When this XML is displayed with XSL nicely, the viewer 
should be allowed to change the text of <DESCRIPTION> (In this case, the 
viewer modifies from "the description goes here" to "this has been 
modified." ) so that next time the same XML is displayed, it'll show as 
"this has been modified" instead of "the description goes here"...

Is this possible?

Thanks,
kero
