That hasn't changed in more recent versions or in XML 1.1. Ah, I understand the difficulty. I believe I should have said "elements". I was thinking in terms of generic trees and picked the word "node" instead. Are "nodes" substantially different from "elements" in this context? > There may have been people thinking of nodes, but "designed for nodes" is > ridiculous.

Did I ask you to prove a negative? Could you point me to that request? I thought I only asked you to refute my positive assertion ("designed for nodes") which you have. I originally intended "designed for elements". Sorry for the confusion.
