XML goes so, so, so far beyond the browser that placing elements named as usefullly as "script" and "style" outside of a namespace is really not a good idea at all. Generic XML is used in worlds away from styling and scripting where 'reserving' these two elements would be at worst be highly destructive to data formats and at best a royal frustration. Ben
