Ignorable whitespace is whitespace contained within an element which has been validated against a DTD or schema model which says that element will contain only other elements.
If you haven't provided that declaration, and haven't parsed in validating mode, XML is *required* to consider all whitespace potentially meaningful, and it's up to your application to skip over it if it's irrelevant. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
