I'll revise that. Akua Sweets scripting addition has a great HTML Suite that
makes all this easy. (parse ML, compile ML, add table, parse table, compile
table, parse tag, compile tag, parse tag val, compile tag val, resolve SRC
tag, with a Class HTML Table Rec and Class URL Path). If you could
incorporate that suite under a license from Akua, I'd go along with this as
a solution. If MBU can farm out Dictionaries to outside contractors, why
not a scripting addition suite, if it saves everyone a lot of trouble?
