Must the result strictly match to the `element' production? (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-element) In my opinion, the result should match to the `document', http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-document, because we can reuse normal parsing method of existing XML parser. -- TAMURA Kent @ Tokyo Research Laboratory, IBM
