I don't want to introduce any more funny syntax for XML. But perhaps for SGML 97 WG8 could make the distinction between element context and mixed context syntactically clear. Then a DTD-less parser and a human reader can see where whitespace will be normalized and where it will not be. <HTML { <HEAD { <TITLE "This is title text"> }HEAD> <BODY{ <P "This is the document's content" > <IMG HREF="..."> }BODY> <!-- Lots of meaningless whitespace that will be removed --> }HTML> Paul Prescod --- Boycott Shell Oil worldwide! http://www.web.apc.org/embargo/shell.htm "Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief."..."The ecological war that the Company has waged in the Delta will be called to question sooner than later." -Ken Saro-Wiwa to the tribunal that later executed him. http://www.goldmanprize.org/goldman/ken.html
