David, Many thanks for your extensive and informative response to my queries which I have found very useful. I'm not yet sure what approach to take in the short term but am in a much better position to evaluate the options and come to a decision. As soon as I posted (naturally) I realised that I hadn't mentioned the MSXML3 parser/processor, which we have already ruled out in the short term because, firstly it is non-redistributable. The second reason is that when it does become distributable it is likely to require installation of IE4.01 SP1 as a base requirement which we don't wish to impose on our users. Your points about interoperability will of course be a further factor in our choice of implementation. I now have to look seriously at the default attributes issue, but worry that it may be only one of many which arise out of early adoption of a schema based approach. Sh*t! Has anyone else been through this process of delivering a reasonably interoperable XML format, and possibly also XSLT processing? If so I would be very interested in your experiences and conclusions. Thanks Mark H XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
