</keyword>It's not easy being an Empress of the Universe (
<a href=

</keyword>Since its inception, the Universe has always had sand, now it has an Empress, a good shoe design, and

  45 <para>One could safely say that making footprints is a push technology. This is even more true when the footprint maker is the Empress of the Universe.

This then confuses the sands of time to be something more like the sands of time/space continuum because if you wait on those sands long enough they may be somewhere else - not necessarily because of the time/space continuum but because the winds will

</title> 
  60 <para>The remarkable footprint is made by a combination of a terrific shoe worn on a fantastic foot propelled by a one-of-a-kind Empress. As can be seen in Figure

  68 <para>Documenting the shoe was the best part for Fred Bloggs. His superior design could be captured for all time in a neutrally-encoded, content-specific manner. An excerpt from his DTD gives an insight into the type of information he captured in his documentation.
