I want to start by saying your efforts are very much appreciated, whether they ultimately turn out to be fruitful or not.

Yes, you have caused the addition of 2 extra lines of code, and a standardisation of the now 6 specials.

But, no, I've never needed these things before and they seem to be a symptom of having to deal with non-aXML compliant code and it's related issues rather than anything actually wrong with aXML itself.

Yes, Corion said that the return values should also be compiled as well, which is where I lost him because I can't think of anyway to know ahead of time what a given tag is going to return. Hence I'm with you on your side of that debate, and I have a feeling that following Corion's suggestion to write a compiler for it may of been a wild goose chase and a waste of about 2 months worth of programming time on my part.

However, having said that somehow Perl does manage to execute the aXML code correctly so it must be compiling it in some manner prior to doing that.
