Just a couple of brief results from Python parsers: $ cat foo.xml <doc xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"/> $ 4xml foo.xml <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><doc/> $ xmlproc_parse foo.xml xmlproc version 0.70 Parsing 'foo.xml' Parse complete, 0 error(s) and 0 warning(s) -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Track chair, XML/Web Services One Boston: http://www.xmlconference.com/ The many heads of XML modeling - http://adtmag.com/article.asp?id=6393 Will XML live up to its promise? - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think11.html
