>>My conception of Well-Formedness has always been along the lines of >>"you can build the right parse tree".

My point is that even if entities are "missing", the result of a >parse should be "well-formed" (ie. the tree is correct except for the >missing nodes). What's the difference between not seeing the entities and switching off the images on Netscape? I normally run my HTML browser without illustrations for performance reasons. I could equally well envisage having the option as to whether or not to resolve linked entities on my XML browser. ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.
