in reply to XML Simple Charset Q?

This is perhaps off-topic, but I was wondering why your XML is not as follows:

 <rec id = 'F600' type = 'J'>
  <author>A. S. Bommarius</author>
  <author>K. Drauz</author>
  <author>W. Hummel</author>
  <author>M.-R. Kula</author>
  <author>C. Wandrey</author>
(snippage)
 </rec>

    Because its output from endnote and I'd have to go and split the single author field that I get. Since, for the application I'm writing, we don't want to sort by author, just search on and display the author list, I can't be bothered to split the field up and then have to reintegrate it for the display.

    (Its a good question though - and I have thought about it, if I get my other XML entity question sorted I may revisit this as there could be sme advanatage if I did this and used XML Twig)
