On the contrary, if a document that purports to be XML is not well-formed, it does not meet the requirements of the XML specification and thus, is in error. Regardless, that is peripheral to Justin Wood's point, which I attempted to clarify for you, but you still seem to have missed. I have included a simple analogy below. > Robin Berjon wrote: > There is no requirement that that has to be known before > rendering can start to work. Perhaps not, but if rendering begins before checking for well-formedness then well-formedness is not checked before rendering begins. If A happens before B then B does not happen before A. This seems like a very simple point; I do not understand why you are contesting it unless, as I suspect, you simply misunderstood it. Or perhaps I did. > You are on crack. No, but making remarks like that, you are being unnecessarily and unentertainingly rude--exhibiting precisely the kind of behavior that makes public discussion lists and forums more annoying and less productive than they should be. Let's keep this list productive, shall we?
