My understanding is that search engines that process massive amounts of data may want to do so with a streaming parser that doesn't abort on errors for which compliant recovery isn't streamable. It seems possible to perform indexing usefully without complying with the spec in the non-streamable cases. I don't have first-hand experience of working on a search engine, I'm not sure how much of a concern full streamability actually is, and I'm not sure if it's worthwhile to address this case in the spec. (It's inconceivable to expect browsers to switch to streamable recovery, so that's not an option.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
