Could you please relax? None of the above is friendly, helpful, or even 
reasonable.

You gave me the DTD snippet

<!ELEMENT tspan 
(#PCDATA|desc|title|metadata|tspan|tref|altGlyph|a|animate|set|animateColor
                 %tspanExt;)* >

to which I replied offlist:

########
... so I could write valid

   <text>
     <tspan><a xlink:href="foo">foo</a></tspan>
     <tspan><a xlink:href="bar">bar</a></tspan>
   </text>

.

The question is not answered, but the above seems to be sufficiently 
equivalent to invalid

   <text>
     <a xlink:href="foo"><tspan>foo</tspan></a>
     <a xlink:href="bar"><tspan>bar</tspan></a>
   </text>

Thanks,

The first snippet is exactly the solution you use on your site.

I understood the solution (which doesn't really answer the original 
question though) you suggested via the DTD snippet, said thanks, so what 
is the problem now?
