Thanks all

My point may have not be that clear> I had a vague knowledge about sax 
event and dom tree in memory. Then why I like Smalltalk is that with 
some comments and a bunch of examples I do not need a doc: I always 
remember the quote of Dan about the fact that one single person could 
learn
it and this is the learning part that is important for me. I do not 
like comments or examples for the sake of them, I do because I want to 
let other learning.

So each time I learn something new I try yo write it as tests or as 
comments and yesterday my network connection was down so not browsing 
of internet resources the night.....only squeak classes without 
examples and comments.
