Forgive me for asking what may seem like a stupid question, but what's not XML compliant about them now, and why do we care? The text is only ever going to parse as SGML (not XML) so I guess I don't see why it matters. I don't really object to the proposed patch but I guess I'm not sure what it accomplishes. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
