Is it possible to include binary data in a XML document and follow the spec. <![CDATA[ ascii data ]]> allows the inclusion of arbitrary ascii data except I do not think uuencode or other binary -> ascii/UTF8 encoders will work without modification to eliminate the ]]> encoding. Would this be possible. <![BDATA length=1024[ binary data ]]> where the parser would ignore 1024 bytes and expect to see a ]]> at the end. The spec seems to imply only character data but does not disallow binary data. I assume a character encoding that did not use the ]]> sequence is okay. I think the <![BDATA length=x[ ]]> tag is not. You need let the the parser ignore and redirect x number of bytes from the token stream. This would be equivalent to a "Java production" in Javacc. But I'm not sure if it is legal ??? So do I need to alter uuencode or some other encoding format to fit the <CDATA format or is it legal to include a binary section. And if not why not : ) Mike mike@j... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
