Questions about Simple Example

Thanks for posting this. Now that I've had a chance to look at it, I 
have some questions.

1) When transform.xsl is applied to data.xml, we get:

<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<title>BXE simple demo</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<p>
<article contentEditable="true"><title>This is the title</title>
<para>
         this is the main part with an
         <emphasize>emphasized part</emphasize>
     </para><para>
	        this is the main part with an
	</para></article>
</body>
</html>

Does that mean that the only thing the transform does is copy XML 
fragments into elements for which content editable is true? And any 
HTML generated by the transform is assumed to be non-editable?

2) The selectors in the CSS from the example are based on the example 
document's schema. So I can assume that means any editable XML cannot 
be transformed to HTML, but must use CSS for layout?

3) When I open the simple example in Bitflux, I see:

	BXE Simple Demo

	This is the title this is the main part with an _emphasized part_ this 
is the main part with an

The paragraphs are not displayed as blocks.

And as I click on the editable elements, the XPath status bar displays:

Article /
or
Article / Emphasize /

but not Article / Title /,  Article / Paragraph /, or Article / 
Paragraph / Emphasize as I expected.

4) When I select Get XML I see

-<article>
-<title>
  This is the title this is the main part with an
  <emphasize>emphasized part</emphasize>
   this is the main part with an
  </title>
-<para>
   this is the main part with an
  <emphasize>emphasized part</emphasize>
  </para>
  <para> this is the main part with an </para>
  </article>

Instead of

<article>
	<title>This is the title</title>
	<para>this is the main part with an
         <emphasize>emphasized part</emphasize>
     </para>
	<para>
	        this is the main part with an
	</para>
</article>

Which I expected.

5) I installed the files for the example in:

bitfluxeditor
			\ css / style.css
			|
			\ xml / data.xml
			|	 / transform.xsl
			|	 / transformxml-include.xsl (from original bitflux install)
			|
			\ schema / schema.xml
					/ js2schema.xml (from original bitflux install)

That was placed in my /Users/username/Sites folder and accessed via:

http://www.example.org/~username/bitfluxeditor/index.html

Was that the correct install layout? Do I need to place it where it can 
be access via: http://www.example.org/bitfluxeditor/index.html instead?

Thanks.
