Thank you, I feel vindicated. Do you know specifically where
I could find this in the W3C I looked in the XML document and
get some cryptic information about attributes and their values
but, cannot find where it actually says that "/" is invalid
in that situation. 

:It's one of those cases where the phrasing and completeness of

:question that
:would've been very good for XML-L. Oh well.
Well, I didn't know there was an XML-L is that part of 
mulberrytech as well?
