There may be millions of markup languages that allow <a/> as a document, or there may be none. It doesn't matter: <a/> is a well-formed XML document regardless. I think this stuff about XML being used to define other markup languages is a very confusing way of explaining things to newcomers. The first thing to get across is that <a/> is (a document allowed by the rules of) XML. Regards, Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ http://twitter.com/michaelhkay
