But we > didn't. And that's a separate RFE :-) I was reading XML-REC yesterday to refresh it in my memory and it reminded me this "xmltag" issue... Unfortunatelly, "xmltag" is not valid name for element according to the XML Recommendation: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.html#sec-common-syn Definition: A Name is a token beginning with a letter or one of a few punctuation characters, and continuing with letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name characters.] Names beginning with the string "xml", or any string which would match (('X'|'x') ('M'|'m') ('L'|'l')), are reserved for standardization in this or future versions of this specification And Name token is one used in productin rule which constructs element's start tag and empty elements: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.html#NT-STag http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.html#NT-EmptyElemTag I'm personally OK with "sgmltag" element name, but if there is need for something more XML related, different name must be chosen: mltag, tagxml, tag?
