Cool. And now I understand how you did to spot the 2 xml files with a blank category

2 remarks :
1. the table layout screws up at row 7 (because of a split table tag) and gets
somewhat better at row 112, but I see other split html tags (line 235 for example),
probably because the lines are too long ?
2. the generated page is much-more user-friendly and self-explanatory than
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dqsd/dqsd/searches/ which is given in
http://www.dqsd.com/faq.htm#gettingsearches. IMHO, your page could be quoted instead.
Keep up the good job !
