interesting work, lee...

oh, so we _are_ doing alice after all.  great!
i'll dig out my z.m.l. copy, for a comparison...          :+)

i'll also continue the work i was sharing on
jon noring's "my antonia" scan-set example,
as the new openreader guy (nee thoutreader)
has created an example using that content,
if you'd like to go head-to-head on that too.

and i helped a new friend put together his book
for project gutenberg, so we'll have that to use
as an example as well, if you wanna mark it up.

plus, if you'd want to explore the gamut, lee,
rather than just dabble with the simple stuff,
i once created a test-suite containing all the
features that are found across the p.g. library.
you could be the first to mark that up in x.m.l.

looks like we're finally getting real, folks...

let us once again give thanks to all the people
who have volunteered their time to scan books
and proof the results.  without their ingredients,
none of us could be making any of our pudding.

and then we'll be off to the races...

my analysis shows you also did the footnotes differently,
and moved some punctuation inside emphasis boundaries,
noted here just because you wanna record all the changes
that you made to the file so you will remember next time...

p.s.  lee, your x.m.l. file starts out fairly nicely in
safari (v1.2.3), but changes its look at chapter 2,
and then bombs out entirely when it gets to:

p.p.s.  looks fine in firefox 1.0.5.

p.p.p.s.  your x.m.l. has a capitalization error in the "chapter"
markup for chapter 8, which makes it display incorrectly...
