Perhaps an example of what I'm concerned with. First a little document: <a> <b xml:idatt='idb'> <bb idb='b1'/> </b> </a> Lets add an element inside of <b>: <a> <b xml:idatt='idb'> <c xml:idatt='idb idc'> <!-- look at what xml:idatt has to be --> <bb idb='b1'/> <cc idc='c1'/> </c> </b> </a> Now, try adding it around <b>: <a> <c xml:idatt='idc'> <b xml:idatt='idb idc'> <!-- you have to change this too --> <bb idb='b1'/> </b> </c> </a> Anyway, it is a simple example, but you can imagine what might happen in a more complex or larger document. I'm afraid this might make it difficult to edit XML in a standard text editor, or to read and understand XML text. Cheers, Bob
