There is no invalid XML involved in the situations being discussed.  The XML of 
the saved document is correct.  Also, OpenOffice does not work on the XML 
directly -- it uses an internal model of the document and imports to that and 
exports from that when accessing files.]

Subject: Re: reveal codes

A short response to many of the points raised in this thread, to quote which 
points would be tedious and not very relevant to this posting.  

Would it be possible to reach a broad equivalent of "reveal codes" by 
incorporating an XML analysis screen.facility, which would look at the 
underlying XML code and highlight what it felt were departures from correct 
syntax?  

Such an analysis would be useful for irregular formatting in Write, much as the 
"reveal codes" advocates require, but perhaps more importantly for the many 
cases of broken .ODF files, usually Calc, where an error message indicates an 
(undefined) error at row,column.  Several such cases occur every month, which 
can often be cured by deleteing a bad formatting sequence at XML level.
