> I am not mistaking, I am comparing. Yes, you are mistaking it. HTML is "relaxed" about various parsing errors. XML absolutely is not. If the input document so much as has a closing tag missing, parsing will fail, end of story. If it doesn't match your schema, parsing will fail, end of story. I'm not sure why you keep going on about this point. You're woefully misinformed if you think XML parsers accept malformed input. > Which will be treated as a bug if other applications DON'T fail (which some undoubtedly will). Are you talking about "my app accepts schema A and another app accepts schema A.1, therefore if I don't accept schema A.1 people will think my app sucks"? I'm not sure why you think this is an XML-specific issue.
