Thanks, Ken, for sharing this evidence of the importance of the Megginson committee's work. If these different products had had a standard model of parsed XML to work from, we could now say that XT and/or IE5 fail to conform to the standard, and in exactly what way(s) they fail to conform. Their respective owners would have to take responsibility for their incompatibility with one another. When the Megginson committee's work is done, I hope every XML product and system will conform to the consequent Recommendation as quickly as possible. I hope that developers will simply refuse to work with systems that don't conform. It's certainly in the best interests of every developer (and of his/her customers) to demand nothing less than strict conformance to the standard Recommendation regarding how XML resources appear as node trees after they have been parsed.
