So all existing XML emitters should be changed, to make sure that not less than symbols and not greater than symbols are escaped? If I were writting a XML document with math content, and added a not less than symbol, I would be sorely surprised to find it starting a tag. Being a Unicode geek, I could figure it out, but I bet many mathematicians wouldn't. Letting not less than symbols open tags would be a big mistake. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
