Mark Little kindly reported some bugs in the ConsultationXML distribution. The INSTALL file was missing a couple of salient details:

• ConsultationXML requires the PHP HTMLTidy extension
• The pdf directory in ConsultationXML’s root directory needs to be writeable.

We had also unwittingly left some Javascript in the codebase, which was responsible for displaying the welcome page that you’ll probably have seen in the sandbox. This isn’t supposed to be a part of the software — only the demo — so we’ve removed that.
