Current state:
"In response (to the last rejection), Applicant has amended independent Claims 1 and 28 such that they now more clearly distinguish, and are patentable over the cited references.
"Specifically, and in addition to the Remarks and Arguments set forth in previous responses, independent Claims 1 and 28 have been amended to more particularly point out and distinctly claim one of the distinguishing characteristics of the present invention, namely, the step of AUTOMATICALLY MANIPULATING THE CONTENT OF MARKUP LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS (emphasis in document is underlined presented here as upper case). There amendments are supported, by way of example but not limitation by paragraphs [0140]-[0155], and therefore, add no new matter to the application as originally filed."
"In view of the foregoing, it is apparent that none of the cited references, either singularly or in any combination, teach, suggest, or render obvious the unique combination now recited in independent Claims 1 and 28. It is therefore respectfully submitted that Claim 1 clearly and precisely distinguishes over the cited combinations of references in a patentable sense, and is therefore allowable over those references and the remaining references of record. Accordingly it is respectfully requested that the rejection of Claims 1 and 28 under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Motoyama in view of Bata and Maslov be withdrawn.
"Claims 2-27, 29-31, 33, 35-37, and 39 depend from and further limit independent Claims 1 and 28, in a patentable sense, and, for this reason and the reasons set forth above, are also deemed to be in condition for allowance. It is, therefore, respectfully requested that the rejection of dependent Claims 2-27, 29-31, 33, 35-37, and 39 be withdrawn, as well.
"New Claims 41-50 have been added to further recite automatically modifying, translating, and censuring the content of at least one web page, and automatically aggregating and summarizing the content of one or more web pages from one or more web sites. New Claims 41-50 are supported, by way of example but not limitation, by paragraphs [0140] - [0155], and therefore, add no new matter to the application as originally filed. Claims 41-50, furthermore, depend from and further limit independent Claims 1 and 28, in a patentable sense, and, for this reason and the reasons set forth above, are also deemed to be in condition for allowance."

So claims 1 and 28 are changed to more accurately reflect the automated nature of Emily's methods.
32. 34. 38. 40. are cancelled
and
41. thru 45. presenting claim 1 in greater precision,
and
45. thru 50. presenting claim 28 in greater precision
So summarized:
1. (currently amended) A method for processing a markup language file having one or more portions, the method comprising steps performed by a processor of:
automatically downloading by said processor a first markup language file using the hyper text transfer protocol and referencing by said processor the first markup language file by its uniform resource location (URL) or by a name of a local file on a system on which a user is operating, said first markup language file including arbitrarily named tags;
automatically determining by said processor when the step of downloading is complete and, upon a determination that the steop of downloading is complete, automatically parsing by said processor the first markup language file for one or more portions of the first markup language file;
automatically determining by said processor when the step of parsing is complete and, upon a determination the the step of parsing is complete, automatically storing by said processor each portion of the first markup language file into a directory structure containing folders, subfolders, and files, complying with the structure of the first markup language file, wherein each of the folders and subfolders depend from the tag names in the markup language file; AND AUTOMATICALLY MANIPULATING THE CONTENT OF MARKUP LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS.
2. 3. (previously presented)
4. thru 26. (original)
27. (previously presented)
28. (currently amended) A system for processing a markup language file having one or more portions, the system having a computer having at least a processor, a memory operably coupled to said memory, said memory being configured for storing a computer program executable by said processor, said computer program comprising:
computer program code for automatically downloading by said processor a first markup language file using the hyper text transfer protocol and automatically referencing by said processor the first markup language file by its uniform resource location (URL) or by a name of a local file on a system on which a user is operating, said first markup language file including arbitrarily named tags;
computer program code for automatically determining by said processor when the steps of downloading and referencing are complete and, upon a determination that the steps of downloading and referencing are complete, computer program code for automatically parsing by said processor the first markup language file for one or more portions of the first markup language file;
computer program code for automatically determining by said processor when the step of parsing is complete and, upon a determination that the step of parsing is complete, computer program code for automatically storing by said processor each portion of the first markup language file into a directory structure containing folders, subfolders, and files, complying with the structure of the first markup language file, wherein each of the folders and subfolders depend from the tag names in the markup language file; AND
COMPUTER PROGRAM CODE FOR AUTOMATICALLY MANIPULATING THE CONTENT OF MARKUP LANGUAGE DOCUMENTS.

32. (cancelled)
33. (previously presented)
34. (cancelled)
35. thru 37. (previously presented)
38. (cancelled)
39. (previously presented)
40. (cancelled)
41. (new) The method of claim 1, further comprising steps performed by said processor of automatically modifying the content of at least one web page.
42. (new) The method of claim 1, further comprising steps performed by said processor of automatically translating the content of at least one web page.
43. (new) The method of claim 1, further comprising steps performed by said processor of automatically censuring the content of at least one web page.
44. (new) The method of claim 1, further comprising steps performed by said processor of automatically aggregating the content of one or more web pages from one or more web sites.
45. (new) The method of claim 1, further comprising steps performed by said processor or automatically summarizing the content of one or more web pages from one or more web sites.
46. (new) The system of claim 28 wherein said computer program further comprises computer program code for automatically modifying the content of at least one web page.
47. new) The system of claim 28 wherein said computer program further comprises computer program code for automatically translating the content of at least one web page.
48. (new) The system of claim 28 wherein said computer program further comprises computer program code for automatically censuring the content of at least one web page.
49. (new) The system of claim 28 wherein said computer program further comprises computer program code for automatically aggregating the content of one or more web pages from one or more web sites.
50. (new) The system of claim 28 wherein said computer program further comprises computer program code for automatically summarizing the content of one or more web pages from one or more web sites.
