It can appear only through a character reference or a reference to an entity (such as lt) containing a character reference. > If not, can somebody point out where in the XML 1.0 spec this is mandated? Section 3.1, the WFC "No < in Attribute Values". The reference to < in this constraint has been removed by an erratum. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@r...> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
