Thanks, what namespace is SGMLReader...

googled and found it.

I guess what is going on is the HTML table is my data source.

But OK, not having done it yet. I still need to define the node mapping no?
How does one do this? Is it positional and iterative.
That is, move to the second row first cell then
 <xs:simpleType name = lname>Miller</xs>

Some of the words like "parse" are confusing me because that implies direction.
and I'm not sure this HTML to XML is the usual direction for usefulness.
