Hello all, Perhaps I've missed something, but I don't see that the start and end points of XML documents are well defined, ie. something like <xml> and </xml>, akin to HTML's <html> and </html>. As XML is rightly obsessed with the start and end of everything else, I find this mystifying. How am I to embed XML in other data (such as HTML, but certainly not limited to it) without such markers (other than hacking my own)? An important feature of such markers is that they can be located without having to be able to interpret any of the content between them. Implicitly defining the beginning and end of an XML document as [bof] and [eof] appears shortsighted, if that is the case. Can you set me straight on this?
