This probably won't work but if it does - be amazed!

Put the below code into an xml file called test.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE PERSONS [
  <!ELEMENT PERSONS (ITEM+)>
  <!ELEMENT ITEM (TITLE, PERSON)>
  <!ELEMENT TITLE (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT PERSON (NAME*)>
  <!ELEMENT NAME (#PCDATA)>
]>

<PERSONS>
     <ITEM>
          <TITLE>Hege Refsnes </TITLE>
          <PERSON>
             <NAME>Martin</NAME>
             <NAME>Williams</NAME>
             <NAME>Cheryl</NAME>
             <NAME>Caprialdi</NAME>
          </PERSON>
     </ITEM>
</PERSONS>

Now create a html file with this in:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<XML ID="dsoBookList" SRC="test.xml"></XML>

<TABLE DATASRC="#dsoBookList" border="1" CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=100%>
<THEAD>
<TR>
     <TH ALIGN="LEFT">Title
     </TH>
     <TH ALIGN="LEFT">Author(s)
     </TH>
</TR>
</THEAD>
<TBODY>
<TR>
     <TD valign="top"><SPAN DATAFLD="TITLE"></SPAN> </TD>
          <TD>
               <TABLE DATASRC="#dsoBookList" DATAFLD="PERSON" CELLSPACING=0>
                    <TBODY>
                         <TR>
                              <TD>
                                   <SPAN DATAFLD="NAME">
                                   </SPAN> 
                              </TD>
                         </TR>
                    </TBODY>
               </TABLE>
          </TD>
     </TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
