Was prompted to ask these questions when reading the following link: http://effbot.org/zone/element-infoset.htm#mixed-content
provides a clear explanation of what the tail member is in the elementtree package. Questions: 1) In the xml world, is the text between an element's end tag and the next tag referred to as the "tail"? 2) None of the xml documents to which I've had exposure (a very, very small set) have had text between an element's end tag and the next tag, hence the following question: are there some 'best practices' advice available to help one decide when it's a good idea to put text between an element's end tag and the next tag as opposed to putting text in the text property of an element? 3) Are these questions appropriate for the comp.lang.python group, or should they be directed to a different group? Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
