I do not regard the script as being part of the information the document is trying to convey. The script can however generate output that will be part of the final document. But, an XML parser that understood PHP processing instructions would be needed to grok that. My only real goal is to make sure that an XML parser will not spew thousands at syntax errors at me when I run an XML file full of PHP script tags through it. And, if it can be parsed without errors, then I expect that an XML authoring system would happily let people add these tags in some sort of escaped or raw, insert your own tag, sort of mode. -Rasmus xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
