Excellent!  I'd been thinking about doing that too.  I'll send a
version that works in Python 1.5.2 in a bit.  The find() and count()
methods of strings don't exist there.

The node format could probably use a comment near the top saying
something like:

(visibility_flag, _, headline, count_of_bytes, count_of_lines,
 list_of_strings_composing_body, i)

because I'm having a hard time figuring out what the members are :)

I really like the very functional style of most of the program.
