I still don't get it. Why is the formatting of a statute relevant to searching it? What if the statute were part of a database of searchable laws...it's format might be XML internally, PDF when you print it, etc. So...if your workflow -- as you've described -- is one of referencing the document, then I can not see why having it in a specific "format" is relevant. <shrug> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
