I suggest that a primary reason that HTML5 and Tidy etc. can do as good a job as they do is precisely because they have the equivalent of a schema. So they 'know' that say <br> should be <br/> and other such niceties. I suspect that a XML version of fixup cannot do nearly as well as HTML5 without a schema. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lee Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation dlee@marklogic.com Phone: +1 650-287-2531 Cell: +1 812-630-7622 www.marklogic.com This e-mail and any accompanying attachments are confidential.
