We've been very careful about that. In addition, for sXBL the SVG error handling rules are used, so unrecognised elements cause the processor to abort. So this won't be a problem. (We may want to also add to sXBL a rule saying that unexpected attributes are in error too, in case we expect to add attributes that change the processing model with no new elements.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
