you cant tell me thats the proper way to do something. and even if it was, you dont represent an XML document with a different class for each XML tag, you use a DOM tree, which uses about half a dozen classes.

sure i can. i might have to practice saying it with a straight face for a while, but yeah, i could definitely say that.

heh....are you saying it beacuse youve taken a job where theyre like "this is our arch, and we'll pay you $200 an hour to work with it", or because you really think thats how it should be done ? like if i hired you and said, "we have to store XML docs, heres our DTD" youd go and make a table for every DTD element ?
