[Paul Grosso:] | If we have defined the concept of well-formed XML precisely so that we | can deal with XML instances without DTDs, then I suggest we refine the | definition of well-formedness to include what we might call | "normalized whitespacing." An XML document is well-formed (and | therefore can be properly processed without reference to a DTD) *only* | if it contains no (non-markup) whitespace that would be insignificant | if it were parsed with reference to its DTD. I rather like this idea, but what do you mean by "its DTD"? There are an infinite number of candidates. Jon
