To be exact, MicroXML permits parsers to go on parsing even after they have reported an error. The MicroLark push and pull parsers do so, but the tree-builder parser gives up if there's an error. > The approach taken by HTML 5 is probably a good one if you've decided > to break backwards compatibility and have things labeled XML that no > existing (conformant) XML processor can handle. MicroXML has a firm distinction between documents and non-documents, corresponding to the distinction between well-formed documents and not-well-formed documents in XML. It simply abstains from telling parsers what to do when they are handed non-documents. A parser could, for example, decide that its input is full XML, or HTML, or GIF for that matter, and pass it off to a different parser. -- Man has no body distinct from his soul, John Cowan for that called body is a portion of the soul cowan@ccil.org discerned by the five senses, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan the chief inlets of the soul in this age. --William Blake
