Fair comment Denis.

I decided to try the lookup based approach on pages 85 - 86 of the xml 
manual and my setups are based on those pages. I have to admit that I 
find the xml manual a wee bit difficult in places since xml is outside 
my expertise. I attach my tex and html files which should save some copy 
and pasting.

Thanks
