Hi Folks,

I think XML tools (e.g., XML parsers, schema validators, XSLT processors) should handle XML files up to 2^64 bytes in size.

2^64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (20 digits)

That's well over a petabyte. Good luck finding that much storage.

I think putting limits on XML tools is more than a bit useless. The limiting factor is almost always the user's computer, not the tool.
