Walter, as much as I respect you, this is like saying all rifles should be handmade: in other words, no interchangeable parts. The days of SGML-pre-ESIS were a nightmare because of that. Sure, it is an agreed upon convention, but it makes rifles cheaper and easier to repair in the field if one can interchange parts. I reasonably expect that of XML parsers unless we get different subsets, then we may be back to the squashed pingpong balls in the name of better mousetrap days. That's ugly. Surely you aren't against some common understandings? len From: W. E. Perry [mailto:wperry@f...] ... parsers are processors like any other and like all processors give a form to their output which reflects a particular understanding of it.
