Sorry, we don't do per-seat pricing.  We only do lump sum of eleventy
billion dollars, *or* $1500 per XML node (don't forget!  attributes are
nodes too!).  Some companies like to go with the lump sum because they get
unlimited nodes, but the per-node price might be better for smaller
companies.

I can offer a discount on whitespace nodes, but I'd have to ask my
manager.
