Why is this? I thought the whole point was that if you came across a tag you didn't understand, you just rendered the contents as if the tag wasn't there. This happens on both IE 3 and NN 3 and seems to be due to the '?' at the beginning, which begs the question why was _that_ character chosen when it would break backwards compatability. Oh well, I don't suppose there's many v3 browsers left... > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Graham [mailto:igraham@smaug.java.utoronto.ca] > Sent: 27 June 2000 20:32 > The XML declaration appears at the start of the document, and has > the form: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="charsetvalue" ?> > > However, older HTML browsers (e.g., Navigator 3) don't > understand this, > and display this line
