Others clearly do not. Hi Ray, The W3C FAQ on DOM states that implementations that do that are in the wrong; so setting in stone that createProcessingInstruction shouldn't accept 'xml' as a target would not create more confusion. Future implementations can then more easily avoid the pitfall. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
