Well, the problem is that they would mean different things. Consider the following fragment: <p> <table> ... </table> <p> In a tree, that would look like: p table And not, as you might expect: p table This problem is actually as simple as: <!doctype html><foo/> I suppose there is some subset of HTML5 documents that would mean the same when processed with an XML processor... I don't really see any value in imposing restrictions on all HTML5 documents to conform to such a subset though. Especially as you have to support a much wider variety of documents anyway. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
