Which seems substantially to be an issue with >those tools than with internal subsets. I'd say its an issue to do with pragmatism. Folk look at the internal subset issues weight up the cost/benefit and say "nah". I don't blame them. Getting interoperable XML with even the gang of four concepts of start-tag, end-tag, attributes and character data is hard enough. Round-tripping internal subsets just isn't done in the real world unless I am currently not in it (a possibility I admit.) Sean
