Sweet-expressions don't use square brackets for anything. > Cdata does not work for attribute values. Sweet-expressions can't go in attribute values, because XML processors convert all newlines to spaces anyway. (Yes, this is a misfeature, but we are stuck with it from SGML days. At teh Goog, I was once asked to figure out why email messages wrapped in XML weren't round-tripping: it turned out to be because the whole message was being stuffed into an attribute, and it was returned as a single line.) > Many web devs need to be told what cdata actually is.

That's your strongest point, I think. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org If a soldier is asked why he kills people who have done him no harm, or a terrorist why he kills innocent people with his bombs, they can always reply that war has been declared, and there are no innocent people in an enemy country in wartime. The answer is psychotic, but it is the answer that humanity has given to every act of aggression in history. --Northrop Frye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
