MicroXML's policy on error handling states that the parser must report that the document is not a MicroXML document, but having done so, it is free to recover as it pleases. David's point and yours here is a good one, and it's the lesson I think most have learned the hard way from XML's experiment with draconian error handling. I think most would agree that experiment failed (just as Postel's Law predicted it would ;) ) -- Uche Ogbuji http://uche.ogbuji.net Founding Partner, Zepheira http://zepheira.com http://wearekin.org http://www.thenervousbreakdown.com/author/uogbuji/ http://copia.ogbuji.net http://www.linkedin.com/in/ucheogbuji http://twitter.com/uogbuji
