It was good, very good in fact. It shows you a case you didn't consider before you posted your incorrect one-size fits all analogy. HTML _is_ XML, so my point is dead-on and completely on-topic for this thread. > see, now i'm feeding the troll.

Browsers contain XML parsers (whatever you choose to call them, they still parse XML). Those parsers look for and close unclosed tags before rendering. My point stands. There is also HTML Tidy which parses XML for errors. It can and does close unclosed tags if you ask it to. So that's another case where your analogy fails. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
