Interesting. Should be interesting to hear your report on search engines crawl. In my view, that should not be any more difficult than crawling an HTML site. But may be it is too early for some SE to crawl and index it.

Or grab it in the page source.

- You are a fast learner. Impressing site.
- May be the next step should be defining your own XML Scema, so you learn how to get full control over your documents.
- Then semanitc linking using XLink. You can transform XLinks to HTML links using XSLT if the browser is not XLink enabled. XPath, XPointer, XLink and XSL(T) are intimately connected.
- AJAX functionality where DOM scripting is very important - the three layers of the web, content and information, presentation and styling and finally behaviour, animation and interactivity.
- Usability and accessibilty. Single sourcing and multiple formats and presentations. KW's PDF documents, WAP, Screenreaders, ....
