Thanks, I've updated with no issues.

Update to my own post ... Tried TextMate and was impressed enough to buy a license.  2 post-install tasks I made you may consider:

1. Install the TeXMLMate plugin.  Can validate using RNG.
2. Change the XML tidy utility.  By default it uses xmllint, the output of which I didn't care for.  I switched to using tidy (from fink).  Use the Bundle Editor to change the Tidy command for the XML bundle to:

  tidy -xml -indent -wrap 78 -quiet
