LOL. I hear you! ... The only problem with that a number of other vendors use that same technique as a form of tool "Processing Instruction". Instead of picking only on Microsoft, how about something like: drop-comment: mstheme, ... Also, one should note that, while maybe guilty of bloating, these extensions do no *harm* to HTML as such. You can have completely valid HTML with MS's "bots" sprinkled around, because they are perfectly legal comments. If you want to see something that uses non-standard stuff that doesn't validate as *anything*, take a look at the output from MS Word 2000. Here is a sample: http://cpcug.org/user/jelks/demo/word2k.htm Interesting (?) porridge composed of XHTML, XML, HTML, and CSS "extensions" ... :) /Jelks
