This is not true, John. An XML 1.1 document MUST have an XML decl. Here is the relevant para from http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml11-20040204/#NT-prolog: 2.8 Prolog and Document Type Declaration [Definition: XML 1.1 documents MUST begin with an XML declaration which specifies the version of XML being used.] For example, the following is a complete XML 1.1 document, well-formed but not valid: <?xml version="1.1"?> <greeting>Hello, world!</greeting> but the following is an XML 1.0 document because it does not have an XML declaration: <greeting>Hello, world!</greeting> Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
