>Have I overlooked anything? The interesting thing is that if this list is complete, there are lots of things the spec doesn't say. Most notably it doesn't say that the processor must tell the application anything at all about element tags! It also doesn't mention anything that the processor mustn't tell the application, though some of the statements seem to hint that there are things the application oughtn't to know. There are some things it doesn't say because they're obvious to everyone, e.g. that it must retain the order of the characters in the document and not add any extra ones. Another thing it doesn't say is when the processor must report an error: in particular, it would be nice if it insisted that all data passed to the application before reporting an error must be data that could come from a valid document. (I've hit this problem recently: to avoid my application crashing on bad XML, I have to carry out checks that the parser will carry out anyway, but later) Mike Kay xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
