Re: [xml-dev] Make implicit structures explicit
I ain't makin' this stuff up, John.  Trying to explain auto-numbered  
paragraphs to people who ask why we can't just type it in is a daily  
struggle.

Battling a weird bug today.  Apparently in system.xml, removing a stylesheet
processing instruction has the side effect of turning this

<!DOCTYPE dmodule [

into

<!DOCTYPE dmodule[

which has side effects. Weird.  :)  For lack of a space, the render is lost.
