How is this intended to be conveyed ? I question if that is necessary? That's more the 'contract' between sender and recipient? If I send you SGML and you are expecting XML we have screwed up... me by breaking the contract, you by using the wrong tools? I do think the spec or some associated document needs more explanation or scoping information in this area. To what extent is XML compatibility expected? Syntax only? Are there any boundaries to that expectation? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. Docbook FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
