Where do you put comments and processing instructions that are siblings of the document element? Where do you put information about the DTD (in a data model that provides that information)? It makes sense for things that are siblings of the document element to be represented as siblings, so there needs to be some object that contains them. That is the root element. -Chris -- <!NOTATION SGML.Geek PUBLIC "-//Anonymous//NOTATION SGML Geek//EN"> <!ENTITY crism PUBLIC "-//O'Reilly//NONSGML Christopher R.
