  We propose a new partial decoding algorithm for one-point Hermitian codes
that can decode up to the same number of errors as the Guruswami--Sudan
decoder. Simulations suggest that it has a similar failure probability as the
latter one. The algorithm is based on a recent generalization of the power
decoding algorithm for Reed--Solomon codes and does not require an expensive
root-finding step. In addition, it promises improvements for decoding
interleaved Hermitian codes.
