The "Ascott Incident" example now reads:
We aren't constrained to the limits of the search string. The offset
is allowed to run off the edge and zoom through the remaining text in
the node. Searching in the text "The Ascott Venture" with the locator
string(1, "Ascott", 8, 7) finds the string "Venture".

Just after the first <blockquote>, the following should be inserted:

This is again because the XML of 6-1 uses the element <comment>, whose text
would be output by a default XSL rule, rather than a true XML comment.

Example 8-2 ("dbfix")
The sub &space_after_start() (used twice) is undefined.
Here's the missing text. You can put it at the end of the example:
# space_after_start
# -----------------
# Add newlines after tag if it's in the list
#
sub space_after_start {
my( $name ) = @_;
my $buf = "";
if( defined( $space_after_start{ $name } )) {
my $spaces = $space_after_start{ $name };
for ( my $i=0; $i<$spaces; $i++ ) {
$buf .= "

}
}
return $buf;
