Hey that's cool! I thought that they had trashed the news away :-)
Thanks for your support. I also posted a reply to the news.

PIs are processing instructions. I don't really understand what the
comment is all about though. Anyone has an idea?

I'll try to spend some time next week end to add XML namespace support
to Petal.

I haven't worked on the library for a (little) while because, errr,
basically it works quite well now and I've started working on another
ultra-dupra top secret kick-ass library that will take me months to
complete :-)
