Yes, just found it late last night. Been playing with it all morning.

Getting it to work in PHP5 is waht I'm focusing on now.

Yes, I understand that.

But I'm trying to get this to a "pure" xml, no display characteristics
markup what so ever!

The idea here is to have a "raw/naked" file as possible, that way any
system can display this as they see fit.

Sure, that way I can great a look for website A which is different than
website B, then create a text or RTF only or even email text or HTML or
even via web-phone.

This is why I was asking about how different folks hand this kind of
content. What kind of markup it contains, etc.
