The DOM made a serious mistake here in my opinion: it's stranded in no-person's-land between raw and cooked, without being either. It's not cooked, because it gives you EntityReference and CDATA nodes. It's not raw, because it DOESN'T give you character entity references. To John Cowan: My original illustrates the point: if you use the presence of the CDATA node in the DOM tree to argue against the validity of the above based on "Elements with element content can only have S between the tags, and CDATA elements aren't S" then why doesn't this apply to EntityReference elements as well, since THEY clearly aren't S either? ht -- Henry S.
