You would apply the grammar above on the parameter value. In type="feed" the parameter value is 'feed' which matches the grammar. Compare this to XML attributes, if the attribute value must match /^[0-9]+$/ then you also wouldn't conclude that the attribute value must not be "quoted". -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
