 Rick has it right. When the decision to make a Draconian Parse the centerpiece of XML to support a well-formed core, one remark made by the a supporter was that this would ensure the clean up of malformed HTML. A counter argument was that that approach sounded good but that practical programmers would still handle the errors and go on because that is what customers would want. In hindsight, the counter argument has so far been right with regards to HTML. But clean up of legacy HTML is not the reason to use XML anyway and the Draconian Parse is the one way a well-formed system can actually work. Don't expect IE to be rewritten to support only Draconian apps. Today, IE allows <HTML xmlns:mytree> and while I can live with that, it seems to suggest that attention to details of Draconian XML is a ways off. Sounds Good Maybe Later applies to a lot of efforts that get momentum. len -----Original Message----- From: Alan Kennedy [mailto:xml-dev@x...] So getting back to the FUD story about NOT being xhtml compliant .........
