If you deal with it as an attribute, it's reasonable to believe that the condition specified by the attribute persists for everything between the start and end tags of the element, as it was established before the contents of the element was processed. If you deal with it as the first child element, there is an ambiguity as to whether the condition should be applied in the same way as for an attribute, for everything from that point on or just for all child elements. As you may not be able to relay the handling that you desire, different applications may be expected to behave differently. -- Regards, Marcus Carr email: mrc@a... ___________________________________________________________________ Allette Systems (Australia) www: http://www.allette.com.au ___________________________________________________________________ "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Einstein xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
