It would be convenient to have a list of unsupported XML features. The ones I've noticed so far are * doctypes (and all doctype-related markup) * processing instructions * notations Comments are recognized but not preserved, so you can't round-trip a document containing them. (Personally, I use namespaces more than I use any of these, which is why I don't use HaXml.) -- Dave Menendez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.eyrie.org/~zednenem/> _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
