Very nice.

Yes. I'm pretty sure it has to be well-formed to even work with DQSD, since
DQSD uses MSXML to parse the searches.

Fine by me. Makes sense.

Ahem, that _is_ the framework ;)... i.e. no framework.

Glad to see someone picking this up and running with it. This (httpinst) is
just begging to be the basis for a UI that allows a user to select new, remote
searches to install. Something that I had envisioned at one time for the Help
window -- don't quit now! ;)
