So, all those problems I was having with the Frontier XML parser? I was using:
xml.compile (scratchpad.xmlTest, @scratchpad.xml)
instead of:
xml.compile (string (scratchpad.xmlTest), @scratchpad.xml)
scratchpad.xmlText was of type wpText, so the XML parser was choking when trying to interpret the binary object as text.
Tonight was a lot of fun, though I certainly didn't get much work done.

Sigh. I was just considering whether to go home, and BNL's “Who Needs Sleep?” came on. I think iTunes was trying to tell me something. 
Wrote some documentation for the WebDAV fileWriter. Need to work on deletion and error messages, then maybe I will go home…
The ACM@UIUC general meeting
tonight features Apple folks. I hope they have some technical people
there to answer questions, otherwise they could lose a big publicity
opportunity.
