This is *totally* illegal per the spec. Is that the msxml with IE4
or IE5? If 4, no biggie, they were up-front about being behind. If
IE5, I'm flabbergasted and MS needs to hear about it now.
As for nsgmls, James has been very up-front about its lack of
completeness as an XML processor. xml4j is right; I expect you'd
also get complaints from XP and Lark. -Tim
