RE: DTD formal syntax

[Murali Mani <mani@CS.UCLA.EDU>]

Not sure if it is relevant --
XML document is a tree -- edit it as a tree, and you do *not* need any end
tags. End tags are there only for getting the tree out of the string.

I think I like to see the tree and not the start and end-tags.

cheers and regards - murali.
