How do you figure that <html>, <head>, and <body> are optional? The HTML 4.0 spec seems to say otherwise. And sure, a browser will let you call anything HTML and it will try its best to render it, no matter how invalid the document is, but that doesn't mean that it's optional. More importantly, for an XSLT processor to know where and how to insert a <meta> when there's no <head> is asking a bit much. Mike -- Mike J.
