1) What is the correct jargon for an element which allows both start-tag and end-tag omission? I have been calling them "phantom elements", since they may be ESIS-present but lexically absent. 2) I note that when SP has a choice between inferring a missing end-tag and inferring a missing start-tag (and phantom element), it infers the end-tag: <!DOCTYPE root [ <!ELEMENT root - - (foo, foo?)> <!ELEMENT foo - O (#PCDATA | bar)*> <!ELEMENT bar O O (foo)> ]> <root> <foo> case 1 <foo> case 2 </root> does not generate an ESIS containing "bar", and even adding a "</bar>" before "</root>" does not help. Is this behavior prescribed by the Standard? -- De plichten van een docent zijn divers, John Cowan die van het gehoor ook. jcowan@r... --Edsger Dijkstra http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
