BTW, do you use the GPS package for your groves?  We have actually been taking 
a hard look at groves and GPS ever since your groves-advocacy post a few 
months ago on XMLDEV and since Geir's recent GPS announcement.  I think we 
need to become clearer on a few matters before we proceed more confidently, 
though.

Have you considered adding a few paragraphs on inheritance (in the pure sense, 
and not funked by C++'s confusions) to your groves short tutorial?  We use a 
lot of data-polymorphism in our designs and we've had a hard time figuring out 
how to model that in the grove view.

About groves in general, I think it's a wonderful model, and quite natural, if 
not for all the very odd terminology and inscrutable language in the standards 
documents.
