Even the largest vendors of >XML tools distribute parsers that are not fully conformant. In my experience, when we feed real-world XML coming over the wire through various SAX & DOM parsers, we have yet to encounter a case where we get different information about the same document out of different parsers. (We have encountered some bugs in encoding handling and some performance anomalies, but I think that's a different space). I'm wondering if our experience is unusual. -Tim
