Have just checked the XML spec - and tags can't start with a number as a character, so unfortunately erix's version won't work.
Also, just thinking it through - tags which vary their names (i.e. we don't know whether the first child of <matrix> would be <1> or <2> or <99>, or whether any given element <1> would have children or not) make it harder for the XSL transform and also for creating a validating schema (if you wanted to do so). Sorry, Erix, didn't want to pick on you! Just trying to put words on why I was uncomfortable with your version... :-) Cheers, Ian On 6/8/06, Ian Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <matrix> > <row values="1,2,3,4"/> > <row values="4,2,5,4"/> > <row values="1,1,3,9"/> > <row values="9,2,3,1"/> > </matrix> > > (I'm afraid I don't like erix's use of numbers as tag names - in fact, > I'm not convinced it's legal XML...) > > or possibly just a string of numbers: > <matrix> > 1,2,3,4, > 4,2,5,4, > 1,1,3,9, > 9,2,3,1 > </matrix> > ... and leave it up to the coder how to format it - but I think this > version is too error-prone (very easy to miss off a comma, for > example). > > Cheers, > Ian _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
