Thanks, this makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@s...] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 3:41 AM To: Johnson, Matthew C. (LNG-ALB); xml-dev@l... Subject: RE: Nested Documents (was: XML 2.0) Using today's parsers, I think this would be viewed as two root elements under a single document node which causes the parser to fail. Not being clear on the details of a parser, it is not clear to me how it would know (using the existing spec) that each <person> should be attached to separate document nodes. Perhaps your point is that the spec doesn't care and it is an implementation issue? What I'm saying is that if some parser decided to accept two XML documents in a single file, for example <?xml version="1.0"?> <a>doc one</a> <?xml version="1.0"?> <a>doc one</a> then there is nothing in the XML Recommendation that says it mustn't do so. I'm not actually saying it would be a good idea. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
