Hi, Chris, Here are all the specific claims I have found. Kinda tells a confusing story. "The IE5 XML parser is a validating parser, with two properties set through DOM extensions to control DTD handling..." Jonathan Marsh on this XSL thread http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/archive/msg03308.html ------ "High-performance, validating XML engine" http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/overview.asp ------ "When directly browsing XML documents, Internet Explorer 5 loads the specified Document Type Definition (DTD) or XML Schema, but does not report validation errors." [OK, I missed the BIG one. But then again, what's it doing in an _XSL_ tutorial, rather than boldly on the _XML_ tutorial?] http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/xsl/tutorials/browsing-sspi.asp ------ "Microsoft Delivers Industry's First XML-Compliant Browser" "...Internet Explorer 5 is the only shipping browser with complete support for XML 1.0." http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/1999/Mar99/XMLISVpr.htm ------ -Ken Sall, WDVL http://wdvl.Internet.com/Authoring/Languages/XML/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
