TB> Er, that should be just "unrecognized markup" right? -T Not necessarily. Perhaps that is easier to see with a pair of rules: Must-understand: unrecognised markup from a particular namespace is anerror Must ignore: unrecognised markup from other namespaces must be ignored. Also, 'ignored' should be clarified tomeen that the outermost unknown element (including its start tag, and (if not empty) its content, children,and end tag, are placed in the DOM but are not interpreted. As opposed to some 'strip off the tags and process the content as text' or 'skip ahead in parsing' type of 'ignore'. -- Chris mailto:chris@w3.org
