Subject: [ssax-sxml] SDOM project announcement
Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 12:22:21 -0500

  So, against some people's recommendations, but because I thought it
would be pretty useful, I've begun work on a DOM API implementation in
Scheme that works on top of SSAX/SXML.  A good part of the API is
finished, to the extent that you can do some useful things with it,
but it's not very well-tested, and so far only works in GUILE Scheme
(although I'd love to port it to other interpreters).  I've set up a
project for it on Savannah
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sdom/), which is also hosting a
web site (http://www.nongnu.org/sdom/) where you can read some
documentation that explains how it works.  I'd love any kind of
comments / suggestions / feedback, even if you think the whole thing
is ill-advised.

Subject: HtmlPrag 0.13

HtmlPrag 0.13 has been released.
http://www.neilvandyke.org/htmlprag/

Please let me know of any problems with this unlucky version number.

There have been a few releases of less-important (or more-trivial)
packages since the last "scheme-announce" post, but I lost track of
them.  The blog tracks those more closely.

Hopefully, there will soon be a release of both a new XML transformation
library called "HTSX" (which mostly obsoletes ASXT) and a new version of
"uri.scm".
