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

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 ?
