A PI is, after all, a *hint* to a processor, which the processor may choose to ignore. All we want is to have AxKit configurable about whether or not it implements that PI instruction > PI's in documents should only be present when they are ALWAYS relevant. um, I beg to disagree. that was NOT the way PIs were defined way back when. they are optional hints to whoever wants to read them. -- Sebastian Rahtz OUCS Information Manager 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN.
