Hello James:

We agree that it is a little early for this kind of SE on the web (actually, we prefer to call it a search vehicle). We originally saw the need for this SE to allow future XMLer's the ability to find actual XML content on the web to view. In the midst of our plan, we realized that it would be possible to create a context based engine that can find content within certain XML tags.

Here's a brief run down:

If you are an author writing documents for the web, you would mark up *KEY* words in your document. For instance, I might write a bio and use the html syntax:

Hello - my name is Duane Nickull. I design XML/Perl modules for GoXML.com

I can then go back and change my doctype to XML and mark it up as follows:

Hello - my name is Duane Nickull. I design XML/Perl modules for GoXML.com
