Thanks to Mike, Steve and Kaila for their replies.

The replies show that we need to maintain centrally links to such
available, big XML-ized text corpora -- The Bible, Shakespeare's
works, etc.

For example, years ago I used to access Hamlet at
  http://www.stoa.org/bard/

but this link is nonexistent now.


Probably Dave Pawson could include a section with relevant links to
big XMLized text corpora in his excellent XSLT FAQ?

Cheers,
Dimitre
