Yes, they are not. However, some implementations accepts it anyway. And here's my memory is failing me on product names. It's a bit interesting how a "clean slate" sometimes doesn't help. For example, feeds got dragged back into the "tag soup age" even though it was a fresh start to get basic things right. However, I think SVG is one of the better cases(and I of course have no statistics on the spreading of non-well formed SVG files). Perhaps slow take-up by web browsers of an XML technology promotes its interoperability. Backend software establishes defacto practices that are more stricter to the specifications, and when the web browsers starts arriving it's more difficult for them to accept the fussy parsing techniques and so on. Perhaps that's the case of SVG, and perhaps it was like that for XSL-T. Cheers, Frans
