He considered it a minor / overly pedantic enough nit that it didn't require an update to the existing RFC, but IIRC he said that an effort would be made to avoid repeat the mistake in any successors to the RFC. And then someone pointed out that no one validates xml:lang values beyond being CDATA anyway, so what did I care. :) - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/
