Elliotte, I think you are really a smart guy and you have created a 
totally cool tool. I respect you for that and I give praise where praise 
is due.
On the other hand, please also try to see it the way of  those poor 
bastards like me who have multiple tasks to perform in their everyday 
job but so little time for details. I need to build a small 
proof-of-concept prototype, which implies the need to inject a tiny bit 
of client-side scripting into my page. I am just a tiny step away from 
the goal: turning &lt; into '<'.
That's how JavaScript has worked for years before XML and how all 
browser still understand it.
How many books should I study before I can achieve that? do I need to go 
back to the university?

RegExps are not powerful enough to parse XML/HTML. You are right about that,
but, once I switch to XML, there must be an easier way than this to take 
care of
details, don't you think?

Thank you

Luca
