>From my hazy recollection, parsing everything inside <!DOCTYPE> added
about 10% to AElfred's size, and that included keeping information
from the declarations (but not validation per se).  The biggest size
bloat -- at least 30% -- came from having to work around inefficient
Java library classes by adding custom buffering and hash-table
routines.


All the best,
