I was serious abot the criticism. It is only good for us to get this
kind of response. I definitely do not feel offended at all.

It times out after 100 days and you will be able to download it for
free much longer.

We most likely will add more screen shots. That is good point. Mixed
content is defined as:

sequence
  #pcdata
  none or more
    element declaration

If you open our application and double click in the top right window 
ELEMENT_DECL/CONTENT_SPEC definitions you can find it there. So it can 
be used as any other definition.
