We're seeing a lot of traffic at the moment from people asking for tweaks to serializers to make them avoid using constructs that recipients can't handle. For example, there's a thread on the JDOM list from someone who can't cope with CDATA sections (banned apparently because they are deemed a security risk!), and I had one recently on the Saxon list from someone who wanted particular line endings, and another not so long ago from someone who didn't want empty element minimization. Minor post-processing edits seem to be beyond the skill level of the people raising these posts; and they shouldn't be necessary. People should accept XML. I intend to continue responding to such requests with "tell your customer to install a real XML parser". Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
