Correct.
But his 'homemade' xml parser will most probably not know about this 
attribute :)

Anyway; I just added it to KWord, but IMO the #PCDATA always implied that this 
is how the tags should be handled. This is b/c the #PCDATA implies 
'mixed content' in all mixed content elements whitespace is significant. 
Now if only Qt would listen to this tag :)

I never said that it is not; please take some more time to read my email before 
replying; I feel you want to correct me on everything I ever write on XML, 
please don't do it like this. (note that I have no problem if you want 
to correct anything I say)
