I agree that it should not be a conformance requirement, so your text matches the situation better. But it should read (Note: If the EncryptedData element is used as the root element of a new document and its Type is 'content' the plaintext resulting from decryption can possibly be not well-formed.) If you encrypt some PIs, Comments and ONE Element (with descendants), it IS well-formed. Thanks, Christian
