Announce: Updated free SHOWTREE stylesheet resource

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman at CraneSoftwrights dot com>]

Hello all!

Now that there are XSLT processors that give access to the namespace axis, 
it is past time for an update to this diagnostic resource.

SHOWTREE is a stylesheet that reveals an XSLT processor's node tree 
interpretation of a source document.

As delivered, the stylesheet does not report any namespace information ... 
to do so the file contains the instructions of which lines to remove.  When 
used with these lines removed, namespace nodes are exposed.

Another change: the enumeration of child nodes no longer includes the 
attached attribute nodes in the same count.  This was done in earlier 
versions to reveal the order of "*|@*" but ended up being confusing to some 
who thought the attribute nodes were considered child nodes.  This new 
version enumerates namespace nodes using roman numerals, attribute nodes 
using letters, and child nodes using numbers.

Please refer to the "Resource Library" link from our home page below.

I hope this is considered useful.  Any and all comments welcomed.

................ Ken
