I just tried with FF3 and IE7. Using a non-ns-wellformed document: - FF3: happily sends it - IE7: couldn't figure out how to create it (respect!) Using an document that has no root element, but a single comment: - FF3: happily sends it - IE7: throws an exception So, how is data loss a "safe" choice here??? BR, Julian
