That seems like neat stuff. Can authors get access to the parser error
messages to build pages that parse XML documents and validate them? I
know that your parser's a little out of date (considering how recently
the spec. has changed!) but once it is updated will this be possible? It
would be nice to have a validating parser deployed as part of a Big Two
browser.
