It makes absolutely no sense > validating XML documents containing PHP instructions *before* the > instructions have been processed Read: Code validation (like in pre commit rules), is one common usage. Think about xml being XML data or HTML. Nothing prevents one to write valid (x)html in a valid xml format. And again this exact example was a proof to a *wrong* claim, it has to be extended to be applicable to a real life context. This small but obvious example is not a real life context but only (and only!) the proof that Stan's claim was wrong, period. Cheers, -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
