+ Restructuring: Now, we have a three (four) layer concept:

Basic User, Advanced User, Administrative User
+ see file SURFLETS-STRUCTURES.TXT for details
+ Adapt example surflets to new structures. Only surflets that use extended
  features should need adaptations.

+* (d) Various
+**    structures: (1) surflets/outdaters
+      provides:     . Data structure to prevent call for outdated
+                      links. This is useful if in some places of your
+                      session the user should not go back and recall
+                      another continuation.
+                    . make-outdater, if-outdated, show-outdated
+  
+**    structures: (2) surflets/utilities
+      provides:     . Various utilities that didn't fit in another
+                      package but were too small for an own one.
+                    . form-query-list: url-query->alist
+                    . rev-append
+                    . make-callback enables you to place a callback
+                      below a link. If the user clicks the link, an
+                      arbitrary function is called.
+                    . generate-unique-name generates name from a
+                      prefix that are highest probable unique with
+                      this prefix. For example this is used to
+                      generate the names of the input fields.
+  
+
+* HOWTO use your own conversion rules:
+
+**  (i) Create your own conversion rules:
+
+ (trigger [*preorder*] . function)
+
+ - TRIGGER is the symbol that trigger the rule
+
+ - FUNCTION will get the trigger and the rest of the list, that
+   triggered the rule as arguments. Thus, if you know, you will
+   only get (at least x) arguments, FUNCTION must accept (at
+   least) x+1 arguments.  FUNCTION must return a list
+   containing only characters or strings or, recursively, lists
+   of this type. (Well, there may be others also, but this is
+   too advanced.)
+
+ - If *PREORDER* misses, the rules will be first applied to all
+   arguments, before the are passed to function.
+
+
+*** Examples:
+  MY-HEAD will take no args and creates my heading:
+
+  (define my-head-rule
+  `(my-head . (lambda (trigger) 
+               (list "<head><title>My Page</title></head"))))
+
+  MY-TITLE-HEAD takes one argument, the title:
+  (define my-title-head-rul
+  `(my-title-head . (lambda (trigger title)
+                     (list "<head><title>" 
+                           title
+                           "</title></head"))))
+
+*** SXML->STRING/INTERNAL
+  MY-ATTRIBUTED-HEAD takes attributes as well. As we don't want
+    to reformat this on our own, we use SXML->STRING/INTERNAL,
+    assuming that MY-RULES contains *all* the rules we use for
+    this sublist. As we do everything for the rest of the tree
+    ourselves, we use *preorder*:
+  (define my-attributed-head
+  `(my-attributed-head *preorder* . 
+     ,(lambda (trigger attributes title)
+       (sxml->string/internal `(head ,attributes (title ,title))
+                              my-rules))))
+
+**  (ii) Create your own rule set. 
+  A rule set is a list of conversion rules. 
+
+***  Example:
+  (define my-rules 
+    (list default-rule
+          attribute-rule
+          text-rule
+          my-head-rule 
+          my-title-head 
+          my-attributed-head))
+
+***  Note:
+  If you want to use SXML->STRING/INTERNAL with the same
+  rule set that entered the rule, you have to define them
+  either on top level with define or with letrec like
+  
+  (letrec ((my-rules 
+            (cons my-attributed-head-rule default-rules))
+           (my-attributed-head-rule
+            `(my-attributed-head *preorder* . 
+               ,(lambda (trigger attributes title)
+                (sxml->string/internal `(head ,attributes (title ,title))
+                                       my-rules)))))
+    my-rules)
