[Biopython-dev] Medline XLM parsers

Jeff,

Two questions: first, it seem that none of the current xml classes 
handle the latest release. Is this correct? And second,
how would you use those classes to parse and xml document? From my 
understanding of martel, I would still need to make an xml parser which 
then makes this seem odd.

Thanks,
Marc
