Undefined means that browsers can do whatever they like with it. MSIE does whatever it likes with it; it shows it as a collapsible tree. Mozilla does whatever it likes with it; it shows it as stream of text. The tree rendering is clearly more useful than the stream of text rendering. Therefore MSIE's behavior is more correct. > But to be able to configure one if needed, either through the > Preferences, via a hidden pref or using something like userContent.css > would be cool. >... Cool but useless, since even amongst those users who liked to look at vanilla XML files (developers, mainly), a majority would not -- and should not have to -- bother doing anything special to see the tree. `[RFE] Better Default layout for "vanilla" XML documents' <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64945>. -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas, Mozilla UI Design component default assignee thing <http://mozilla.org/>
