Below are the syntax rules for Name (copied from the W3C XML specification): Names and Tokens [4] NameChar ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':' | CombiningChar | Extender [5] Name ::= (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)* [6] Names ::= Name (S Name)* [7] Nmtoken ::= (NameChar)+ [8] Nmtokens ::= Nmtoken (S Nmtoken)* As you can clearly see, a name cannot start with a digit. Therefore, it is not possible for any well-formed XML document to contain an element or an attribute or a namespace ' named "0" ' Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
