If you want to inspect the entire element to see if it contains anything except spaces and sub-elements, you're in for a lot of lookahead (consider <HTML> in a well-formed RFC 1822 document!). And in any case, just because my paragraph only contains individual emphasised words does not mean that the spaces (or record ends) are insignificant. <P><emph>That</emph> <strong>doesn't</strong> work.</P> should be the same, right? I don't think any white-space should be discarded by the parser. LeeReceived on Monday, 30 September 1996 23:13:38 EDT
