If its not well formed it isn't XML. I agree that the majority of stuff that looks lie XML on the Web is not well formed - its HTML, mostly, or 'save as web' html-like wordprocessor excretions. If its not valid, though, well, valid to what? As Michael Sperberg-McQueen said at his talk at XML 2005 this year, being valid is not like being married. censeo DTDem esse delendam -- Chris Lilley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG with apologies to Cato ------------------------ Yahoo!
