You have to have a single root element. But suppose you wanted the following: ,----- | <scanjob>...</scanjob> | <jobcontrol>...</jobcontrol> | <scanjob>...</scanjob> `----- Why can't you just say the following? ,----- | <jobspec> | <scanjob>...</scanjob> | <jobcontrol>...</jobcontrol> | <scanjob>...</scanjob> | </jobspec> `----- Or are the two extra tags (<jobspec> and </jobspec>) really a problem? If you were using SGML you could specify that the start tag and end tag of the top-level element can be omitted, but with XML you have to write them explicitly. kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
