Yes. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I had accepted this to be the case after the aforementioned posts from Rob Lugt, and had adjusted my processor accordingly. But of recent times I have been working with the Expat C parser, and it appears to me to be impossible to support the above interpretation using Expat "out-of-the-box". For this reason I wanted to confirm that the above was indeed the correct interpretation before fumbling around trying to modify Expat to conform (I'm afraid I'm a wee bit "C-challenged" <g>). cheers, gary
