This is true if you are using XML to define a syntax of a language. Just same as any other language, the syntax definition doesn't implement real work defined by using syntax, it is the underline language implementation. > The XML parser which I used once offered automated > fetching of XML hunks (a technical term meaning attributes and such, > you see how much I know).

XML understands little about the context how data is used. Through XML schema, data constraint can be specified. However, as to the data's final validation, it depends on the end application. _______________________________________________ Juglist mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://trijug.org/mailman/listinfo/juglist_trijug.org
