Sure, that would be an honour! > about what goes into the basic release, to protect it from blowing > up too much (and thus being no longer "pico"). Would not it be better to have only one function to parse xml in picolisp distribution? I will have to refine it and test it more thouroughly though. > One problem, though, I still see with comments.

"1") (b . "2")) "12" "34") Filtering comments by a preprocessor would not work in general unfortunatelly because something like: <hi a="1" b="2">1<![CDATA[2<!-- comment -->3]]>4</hi> is a valid xml and the comment is not a comment but an ordinary text:-( Thanks, Tomas -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
