what's the typical overall structure for this tree ? is it short and wide, or tall and narrow ? or in other words, if you would extract all /node/node elements (that is, node elements just under the document root) from a large file, would you typically get a long list with small nodes, or a short list with a few large nodes ? </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
