RE: Algorithms for Data Division

I looked into XML to WML XSLT transitions for a client six months ago, and I
too came to the conclusion that the deck of cards is downloaded, that the
card itself is a means of display, and not of saving memeory.  This led to
thoughts of testing on a hundred 'phones, sniffing 'phone memory, using a
ISP gateway, writing a gateway, and then writing cards as seperate docs,
split at headings/paragraphs.

So, _pete - does this effect things, if your primary motivation for
splitting over cards is memery-related?

And, er, why are we on Perl AI?!
