In my case, the XML was both produced and consumed by programs I controlled completely: I could just as well have used a private format. By using XML instead, I am free to send copies to outsiders so that they may consume it. Such outsiders had better use parsers, as I may change the non-Infoset details of my XML if I feel like it. -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@r...> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
