No problem. Not high priority for me either.

OK. I don't know whether the file was renamed, or the file I found was
a completely different one.

I guess I deserved that... :-) even though it was in Australia that
I learned to spell.

My point was consistency, but I see now that most of the
occurrences in that Readme.txt spell it with a second "s".
In that case, the minority spelling variants are in the Readme.txt file at

  "The expandable/collapsible syntax colour-coded display of the source
XML Document is the same as the one of the XPath Visualizer for Internet Explorer."

and

  "1. The CSS styles were modified, so that the fonts and colours used are the same as those of
XPath Visualizer's IE version."

I guess the reason I thought "izer" was your choice of normative spelling
was from your email of yesterday...

} This has been done years ago. For example look at the code of the
} stylesheets used by the XPath Visualizer (both for IE and Mozilla).

... and from the XPath Visualizer web page (http://www.vbxml.com/xpathvisualizer/)
that seemed pretty official, and where it's spelled "izer" everywhere.

Oops, my bad. I didn't look far enough.
