The last paragraph of clause 3.1 says: # For interoperability, the empty-element tag must be used, and # can only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY. But "for interoperability" flags a "non-binding recommendation", as clause 1.2 says, and so doesn't mix with "must". All other uses of the phrase are associated with "should". I recommend the following wording: # For interoperability, the empty-element tag should be used, and # should only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk?
