   Quoting Scott Little on Sun 5 Jan 2003  6:09 to Jan Vermeulen:

sl> You can't, but that's dependant on the broken-ness of the input

   This implies that an XML list generated from the nodelist at one place will
not yield the same nodelist somewhere else. I don't like that.

sl> As I said before, if this is a concern, *Cs can simply run both in

   I would not know why I should do that. There's more important work to do
than that running wo programs that do the same and then check them for
correctnes (and I can't use a simpel "FC first second > watsup"

sl> It's likely they won't, though, as it will force nodelist entries
sl> that are undecipherable to be fixed instead.

   I can do that using MakeNL and a flag list; I'm doing that already now ;-)
