I tend to agree. I would have no problem living without most of the things we have taken out so far, but if MIcroXML lacked comments, empty elements and NCRs, I would probably end up using XML for documents that I authored myself. Maybe we should add something like "MicroXML shall support the use of text editors for authoring" as a goal. James
