Once we see "<?xml ", where the last character can be any whitespace character, we know beyond doubt that this is an XML declaration/text declaration. The first "g" appearing in the declaration is necessarily the last letter of "encoding", unless XML is extended to a version number that includes the letter "g", which is most unlikely. The only other way that a "g" can appear is within the name of the charset itself. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... You tollerday donsk? N. You tolkatiff scowegian? Nn.
