It's morning again (ok, afternoon) and I'm gonna try out this stuff, 
just to comment though.. Yes, I am only relating to elements, as my 
supervisors algorithm only handles elements.. and I don't need to take 
account of attributes or entities, or even actual textual content.
However I have implemented tha algorithm in such a way that full 
implementation of all these is possible without a total re-write .. but 
I don't need to worry about them at the level I am now working on.
