I believe you mean unicode.xml?

Should I not be using it? I'm looking at openjade and jadetex now and trying to wrap what's left of my mind around it. In the past when I've had to typeset XML I've ``just'' used nifty Plain TeX macros which Jeff McArthur wrote up (somewhere on comp.text.tex is a a brilliant writeup of an early version of these if memory serves), so xmltex seemed like the perfect way to leverage my knowledge of LaTeX for this.

Thanks!
