An experimental implementation of the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex is available at

http://www.tanach.us/PreviousVersions/Tanach-2007-06-01/Tanach.xml

This site has an XSL date of 1 Jun 2007 and is intended to replicate the content of the current site at

http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml

exactly.

The experimental version is served through a technique called "content negotiation". Users with modern browsers, such as Firefox 2.0.0.4, will automatically receive compressed versions of files from the site. These files will be automatically decompressed by the browser. The number of bytes downloaded is approximately 25% of those required in the current version. Operation is transparent to the viewer and requires no changes to the browser settings.

The actual site download time depends on the capabilities of the viewer's Internet connection and computer. Viewers with poor Internet connections and fast processors will see the greatest improvement, those with high speed Internet connections may not notice a change at all.

Your observations are solicited.
