It does seem worth allowing for processors that can't return any non-fatal errors when they are otherwise successful. We are considering removing the phrase "to the application invoking it" from the quoted sentence, so that it would acceptable merely to print a warning to the user. We are not however happy with the idea of these errors being silently ignored - that would not help interoperability. Does that help you? -- Richard
