Huh? I guess I wasn't clear. I explicitly constructed a document
that was well-formed but not valid. My question comments had to do
with "ignorable" whitespace in a non-validating parse.
The non-validating parser might think that <a> had element content
and imagine that it could throw whitespace away. But it would be
wrong.
Be seeing you,
