As currently written it specifies XML in a number of places. I made a separate comment asking for HTML to be included. However, even if that were changed, I think my comment still stands. The CDR spec does not apply to something where the root document is not a language with a DOM. Therefore I don't think this is meaningful as a conformance criterion. Regards, Maciej
