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.
