Also, I should argue in terms of the spec: Misc is defined as a combination of comments, processing instructions and/or whitespace. AFAIK, It does not say anything about the end of file. So in other words, libxml is assuming an additional restriction that it must receive an EOF coinciding with the end of the document. However, EOF is just one possible delimiter. As far as I'm concerned, it would be acceptable to mark the first non-Misc character as the end of the document and complete parsing without raising a hissy fit. The specification only defines what goes into a 'document', I'm not aware of any specification that warning/error handling must be triggered if anything follows the document other than an EOF. -Ethan _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
