You might want to take at look at the validator.nu HTML parser for an example. > unless they don't encounter any errors that need correcting, like > unclosed tags -- If by unclosed tag you mean a start tag that lacks an end tag, then for many elements in HTML that's not defined as an error and never has been. XML made it an error. But HTML parsers aren't XML. Anyway, regardless, it's a case that affects streamability. --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
