At this site http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/inetsdk/samples/databind/composer.xml you will find a XML file that contains content like this: <?XML VERSION="1.0" RMD="NONE"?> <COMPOSER> <ITEM> <COMPSR_FIRST>Hector</> <COMPSR_LAST>Berlioz</> <COMPSR_BIRTH>1803</> <COMPSR_DEATH>1869</> <ORIGIN>France</> <BIO>Renowned French composer known for <SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic">Symphonie Fantastique</SPAN> written in 1830.</> </> Notice that end tags do NOT contain the element name. >From my reading of the XML spec this file is not well formed.
