I've made some progress trying to catalog xml documents..  There are a few
wrinkles which make things interesting.  One thing I've noticed, however,
is that acquisition works somewhat strangely either when xml documents and
zcat are combined or simply with xml documents.  Element attributes
appears to travel down the hierarchy only one level: if an element has an
attribute then it will be availble only to its first children.  This seems
to be true with any properties of the xml document itself as well.  This
has been my experience cataloging xml documents, but I may try to see if
the same is true with dtml.

All in all, though, I'm very impressed with both of these products.
Although I've yet to try it, kudos for adding relevance ranking!
