I had though about that in the context of libxml2 years ago, the problem is that basically you need to keep a "whitelist" of allowed "xml" names in the parser and forces the parser to be updated in some ways when new XML specs using new "xml" based names are issued. A maintainance nightmare so I didn't do this, even when the parser is in pedantic mode, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
