Yes, it's the "application code" bit that is currently proving painful for our developers, as the fixing up is proving to be very slow. I would be very happy if the DOM had some option that never constructed explicit CDATA sections, or even if it had something analogous to the normalize() function (which normally merges adjacent text nodes) which was blind to CDATA/text distinctions. -- Richard Lanyon, Software Engineer DecisionSoft Ltd.
