But the size of the parser is a function of the development process more than the specification. The spec just sets a minimum bound and is no guarantee that someone's code will be minimal. Indeed, after there are a few parsers, the value proposition of any parser is the feature support, such as API support and support for related standards. The market works against minimalist implementations. Look at Xerces: absolutely enormous, and much bigger than, say, James Clarks SP and XP combined. Cheers Rick Jelliffe
