<DIV><SPAN class=324365613-12031999><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>With
the wealth of XML libraries available, I am more and more inclined to make use
of these libraries to help me create, parse, and utilize my own tag markup
language to be embedded within an HTML document. My understanding of XML
at this point is that it must be well-formed or a fatal error occurs. If
this is the case, how can I deal with the fact that most HTML documents are NOT
well-formed and that most HTML design tools do not enforce, require, or even
sometimes support, well-formedness in a document?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

would be rosy if I didn't have to rely on HTML, but my application requires
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
