Congratulations Geert!

Congratulations to Geert on his winning entry to the XML Holland 2011 Challenge.

Back when the XML Holland 2011 Challenge was announced, I knew I had to enter. I whipped up a solution that satisfied the requirements of the contest (if just barely) in reasonably short order.

A couple of days ago, when Geert Josten posted his entry, I knew I'd been out-classed.

I'm delighted that the judges agreed.

Congratulations, Geert!
