The key here is that you're relying on document order to convey information, i.e. treating the components of a name as a list rather than a set. Of course, you may need even more complicated structures, not all of which can be simply concatenated: <name><given>Enrique</given><middle>Jose</middle> <family><matronym>Martin</matronym><patronym>Morales</patronym></family> <stage><first>Ricky</first><last>Martin</last></stage></name> *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
