That's completely different from my notion of type (for XML, anyway), which is a set of values with a common lexical representation. That representation can include both markup and textual representation. Further understandings start from that lexical representation and can get more interesting. I think you can get from mine to yours, but going from yours to mine just exasperates me most of the time. Simon St.Laurent "Every day in every way I'm getting better and better." - Emile Coue
