Should the WiX preprocessor give an error if there is a statement that it does not recognise? I just spent some time tracking down a problem, which eventually came down to me using <?elsif ?> rather than <?elseif ?>. An error message saying <?elsif was not recognised would have been useful.

I would have assumed so but there's a comment in the current preprocessor code that says:

default:
   // unknown processing instructions are currently ignored
   break;

Seems ugly to me and by "currently," I'd say it's open to a nicely-worded feature request.<g> I assume it's there for extensibility but extensibility was added via preprocessor extension which requires a prefix...
