I don't want to set off another debate about subsets of XML, but I wanted to post this for others benefit. :] I have put up a rough draft of my specification for 2SimpleXML. Other developers that are interested in using a simpler subset of XML might want to take a look at it. I will be using 2SimpleXML in some application development on one of my other projects, so I will be maintaining the specification for the foreseeable future. If others are interested in creating a more "official" version of the specification that they can reference, I would be willing to do so. (Although I'm not sure how this would be accomplished.) I am open to constructive criticism and suggestions on the spec from this group. I actually need help with a couple of things: [1] Do I need to specify that documents in 2SimpleXML should be in a standard character set, as they did for MinimalXML? If so which charcter set should I use? I'm guessing it would be Unicode of one sort or another... [2] I would like to provide a way to escape the "<" and ">" characters in the content of a 2SimpleXML element. I was thinking I would just use the "\" character as my escape character. In this case the following would be possible: <sample> The "test" element in this line would not be recognized by a 2SimpleXML parser. /<test\>Testing\<\/test/><\sample> Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Scott Huey
