Great. Why don't you submit a diff of the install instructions with
this information?

Are you wanting to use the XML as a data store? If so, you will want to
use Xerces (and possibly Xalan) to get at your data. You should look to
create a "warpper" for these (and if you're good ;-) any SAX compliant
parser/DOM compliant parser/processor) and build these to interface with
the current DBBroker architecture (org.apache.turbine.utils). Then it
can be used just like any other data store.

I'd love to - I just have about 8 other things on the list at this point
;-) I can help out conceptually, I know what you need to do to make it
work...
