  (session add="username")<qd>username</qd>(/session)

[download]
would result in the string "<qd>username</qd>" getting added to the session data under the tag username. this wouldnt happen with [ses<qd , <ses<qd or <ses(qd which would all work fine... <ses[qd would also break however [ses[qd and [ses(qd would work fine.

its hard to think up examples of incorrect nesting, typically the brackets will all be < type and the normal nesting follows, the other two are just special cases where some bits of code have to be run out of the normal order. for instance a plugin to manipulate a server side file prior to allowing another plugin to read it and display its contents. (btw i got some nice caching on my implementation to avoid unneeded server disk writes) additional ; another thought; 

<case c="<mem>ref</mem>">
  <1>
    (insertfile...
  </1>
  <2>
    (deletefile...
  </2>
</case>

this case statement does both cases before deciding which to do! if you turn the brackets around and give (case(mem, it works correctly.

    Why can't session get the username from the same place as qd does? It's really weird that it needs to be converted to ML and then back to a string.

      the modules are designed to work as independantly of each other as possible, the session var could be told 
        <session add="foo"><qd>bar</qd></session>
  
  or

  <session add="foo"><case c="<qd>bar</qd>">
                       <refa>something</refa>
                       <refb>something else</refb>
                     </case></session>

  or 

  <session <qd>ses_action</qd>="foo">some data</session>
  
  where ses_action is one of ; add ; del ; append etc

        Ok, I'll grant you that your model requires them. I'll stop here before I say something non-constructive.
