These are false positives and not a cause for worry.</span></p>

There is a <a href="http://startext.demon.co.uk/cgi-bin/htgrep_skillset.cgi?file=SKILLSET&isindex=linguist*&boolean=auto&style=ol&grab=yes" target="_top">sample entry</a> and also a

technical report titled Benchmarking XML-editors by Thijs van den Broe. The report looks at 23 different editors and benchmarks them against various features (eg, Multilingual text input and display,

Support for different schema languages). It also presents the results of an evaluation exercise where different user groups tried a number of the editors.</span></p>

she will have a go at the current documents that deal with LDAP: primarily the LDAP HOWTO and LDAP Implementation HOWTO, but also these HOWTOs which have LDAP as a sub-subject: Apache Webdav LDAP
|
|
HOWTO and Apache Compile HOWTO. Some of these are quite old, I'll contact the authors and check if they are still maintaining their document. As this is a "pilot project", Tille will keep us

posted.</span></p>
