Re: Fwd: Re: Selecting a certain amount of characters with X

>What do you mean ?

sorry I should have been more explict

when you are counting characters would "<p>this</p>" add 
11 characters or 4 ?

ie 

do you want an XML tree with a limit of 1000 on the number of
characters appearing in character data

or

do you want an XML tree which when linearised to a file results in
at most 1000 characters including markup appearing in that file.

In the latter case what do you want to do if you reach the 1000 limit,
just truncate the file and leave the result not well formed, or
do you want to still close every open element perhaps deleting some
more characters to stay within the limit.
