You still didn't answer my question... why is that so bad in this context/paradigm? I'm sorry but I'm not just going to take your word for it, especially when what your saying is flying in the face of years of experience of developing complex apps in aXML. I don't care if you taught Larry himself everything he knows about programming, you can't just tell me my experience is wrong without providing qualification to your statements. I doubt you would just accept my word on such a matter if it contradicted something you are well experienced with and know to be true.

If <foo> is not a plugin then the parser will have nothing to do with it, hence you can structure it however you please and there will be no effect. aXML only acts upon correct well formed tags which it can recognise, everything else is expected to be codedata intended for another parser (I.E the parser in the client browser) and simply passes straight through untouched.
