I often buy these books with a few questions in mind that I need answered. I always find that such questions are hard to find the answers to even when the book contains the answers. This was the worst case of it.
When do I use an attribute and when do I nest a sub-element? Any "leaf" could be either. The pathetic answer was "duh, nobody's made up their mind about this." Oh well, so much for the genious of OReilly and the w3c. (hint, how about coming up with a good reason to use one or the other.)
The worst thing you can do is have a programmer write a programming manual. The second worst thing you can do is organize these books like school text books.
Just thought I'd let you all know about http://www.napigator.com. It allows you to use Napster without going to 208.184.x.x. Most servers still use 8888, but they don't have to. Heck, people could put up a whole distributed Alter-Napst if they wanted to.
Just wanted to illustrate that where there's a block, there's incintive to find a way around it.
