Hi Alain, I've been using the revXML library lately, too. I haven't run in to either of these bugs, but I appreciate hearing about them. I found that Ken Ray's STS XML Library was very helpful... you might look at that for some or all of it's usefulness. I use it for writing to CDATA nodes. I store HTMLtext in those nodes, and that eliminates many encoding issues for me. Cheers, - Charles
