Part of it seems to be whether the intended use is in a Web browser for display (avoiding the "yellow screen of death"), primarily (it seems) of faulty XHTML and RSS feeds... or whether it's intended as a front end to a more general XML stack, e.g. for an editor. Anne's approach seems a good fit for the Web browser use case, which is not surprising :-) As soon as web browsers start accepting non-wf input as XML, people will start creating it... and then we'll need to process it elsewhere. So a long-winded (sorry) +1 to Jeni's idea. Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/
