Unfortunately XML itself is not a great example of the containership philosophy: I am thinking of XML Document := prolog element misc* The prolog is an implicit container. So too is the epilog (misc*). The first start-tag (or empty element) implicitly signals the end of the prolog and the start of the root element. The matching end-tag (if any) signals the end of the root element and the start of the "epilog". XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
