As a final note to this thread(you may respond if you
wish!), I'll say (in response to David's comment
earlier).. David said, it may be difficult commercial
decision for Microsoft to solve this bug in future
versions of IE. As MS has to ensure backward
compatibility also.
If we see Windows.. Windows XP/2000 are 32-bit OS. But
they are able to run old 16-bit Windows programs, and
also DOS programs. If MS can do it for Windows, they
can easily do it for XML support in IE.

Exactly.
While MSXML may be conformant according to the
letter, this is only by
virtue of buck-passing. It would be no less
conformant if it worked only
with a parser that threw away all occurrences of the
letter 'e' in your data.
It's kind of like there being nothing wrong with
your car just because the
tire is flat. You can still drive it -- so what's
the problem? (The problem
is that you can't get tires for this car that aren't
flat.)
It's a pity, since in other respects the MSXML
engine does so nicely.

Wendell
