Its not illegal to have them, so you should be prepared to to deal with it. The most common case where it might occur is when someone reads in a file into a string and feeds it back into the parser. It might never happen in a Java string, but could easily enough happen in C++ if they read in data into a string. I've seen some hard-coded XML strings in Cpp files which had the BOM in it. -------------------------- Dean Roddey The Charmed Quark Controller Charmed Quark Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.charmedquark.com "If it don't have a control port, don't buy it!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curt Arnold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 1:29 AM Subject: Re: Xerces-C 1.5.2 status update ...] > > Don't assume a BOM *wouldn't* be in a string, it could well be and its > > perfectly legal to do so.
