Thanks for the pointer regarding DOM - it was very useful.
I do have another question - how can I traverse the tree and see what 
available tags got read in? Where can I look up the methods available and 
the actual tree structuire? I tried reading the actual .py file but I got 
all mixed up - is there any reference to the available methods.?

TIA,
