That sounds a lot like the choice between validating and non-validating XML parsers and editors, recast to HTML... which may mean the same answer applies, that should be available (or one that runs in both modes) so the application can decide whether to enforce the constraints or not. Or perhaps one tool that runs in both modes. (If you know you sometimes want validation, you've already bought the additional code. If you know you _don't_ want it, you can reduce your runtime's size by leaving it out.) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research Unless stated otherwise, all opinions are solely those of the author.
