Actually, now that I think about it, that will work. Since comments are basically invisible to the xml parser it will just skip that section. The w3c doc does say that xml parsers can remove comments so the script may not work in xml user agents; however, the comment approach satisfies our requirements of usefulness in current browsers and xml validity.

Thanks,
David

Probably best to follow the specs then. My comment was based on experience.

I don't think that works. I'm basing this on what I've read here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8

and here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4
