Just a small note I forgot to add in my last
message:
An XML parser does have all of the information to be able to
process a document with short tags if you don't care about debugging. However,
if I have a document with 10 000 start tags and with 9 999 end tags, the only
information a parser can give is that the document isn't valid. This is because
it won't know which elements are complete and which are still open. If it made
some futile attempt to detect by checking with the DTD and debugging that way,
it still isn't exact. Whereas, using long tags the parser can search for exactly
which tag isn't closed and output its starting line position. This makes
debugging cause a lot less headaches.
Another part of my two cents,
Cheers,
