legitimate documents you cannot produce from aXML programs

If you can find a single example of such a document then I will eat my computer... I mean it... I'm sure motherboards are quite tasty with a bit of ketchup on them.

As far as I can tell in 5 years of writing aXML documents specifying various complex systems, there is no problem with the theory at all. The only problem that existed was my previously poor/slow implementation of the standard, but that problem has been fixed through a very long slow and lonely process of working on it alone whilst being told I was a fool and I ought to give up.

I've thought of another way to explain the thing, dunno if this will help:

aXML is to a server what HTML is to a browser

Perl is to aXML what CSS is to HTML (sort of)

I wonder, if you had complete control of the syntax of HTML and of CSS, (within the established grammatical rules) is there any sort of layout which you could not generate with the two?
