Thanks Davis and  Michel -- our emails crossed in the void.

Just realized: in html case is unimportant and <link> is an unterminated
tag.

Andrew,
Absolutely correct. I have no idea how it got there, but the output was not
set to XML but HTML. Changing output to XML solved the problem. Any idea why
it worked for one element name and not the other?
Thanks,
Mark

Below is a template. When it is called, it fails to terminate the element in
the output XML and gives the error:

"Error on line 273 column 9 of 33Subjects.xml:
 SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The element type "Link" must be
terminated by the  matching end-tag "</Link>". Transformation failed:
Run-time errors were reported"

You probably have a transform with xsl:output method="html" somewhere
in your processing chain, and you are attempting to parse its output
as xml...
