Perhaps it's time you read up: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#parsing ;-) At some point it will hopefully define something that's compatible enough with the web so it can be implemented. As I understand it: it isn't ready yet, but it's a very good step in the right direction. Namely, how to create a tree-based DOM out of "tag soup". (Thereby removing the need for a term such as "tag soup" as everything is defined.) In addition, it also specifies that when the element nodes, etc. get added to the DOM they have to be put in the HTML namespace (<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>). Some APIs such as Element.tagName do have to return something else for HTML elements in HTML documents as opposed to XML documents, the tag name has to be in uppercase. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
