Hi,
I'm not sure where to announce this, but since I started by making
enquiries here, perhaps this is the best place to finish. Besides, since
it's now in the Wiki it doesn't need to be announced, as people will find
it.
I am grateful to Renaud Michel for providing the useful bits of XSLT code
while I fiddled around the edges.
This simple project is to make a set of POI layers to overlay on top of a
town map. The code should be self explanatory. It's not highly polished,
and there are many improvements that could be made. These are left as an
exercise for the reader. If I have made any glaring errors, well, it's a
wiki. Please fix them for me.

In case you are wondering, a 'hagwon' is a private education business
which teaches students out of school hours. The equivalent in Japan is
'juku'. I'd like to have an 'official' recognition of this tag as hagwons
are very common here in Korea, but that is another matter.
Best wishes,
Andrew
