I strongly agree (3 with 1 for compatibility). In addition to the two niceties Michael suggests, I would like the parser also to parse the namespace PIs. Not only does this save all applications from writing the same code, parser writers probably already have low-level functions they can adapt/use for this purpose. The parser would use a separate callback (not processingInstruction) to return the namespace information. -- Ron Bourret xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
