I think there is an inheritance from XML, in the sense that XML doesn't distinguish syntactically between different types of attribute/element value -- i.e. they're all character sequences. However, there is still a desire and expectation that literals --character sequences all-- can be used to represent other types of value. #g ------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Klyne MIMEsweeper Group Strategic Research <http://www.mimesweeper.com> <Graham.Klyne@MIMEsweeper.com> ------------------------------------------------------------
