No good reason to, and good reason not to. HTML, as implemented in several current CSS-enabled browsers, has some hard-coded presentational aspects. For example, some tags have margins that cannot be reset, or they cannot be made to be block, or made to be inline, etc. XML does not have these restrictions because there is no hard-coded processing of the elements. Also, it is much easier to generate a consistent parse tree from XML than from an SGML application (no omited start or end tags, etc) and for consistent presentation of CSS- (or indeed of XSL-) styled documents, a consistent parse tree is essential. -- Chris XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
