I was taking "The text between the delimiters should be treated as the single token 'any_words_697'." to mean "all the text between the delimiters, including the delimiters themselves", but that's probably not the most natural reading. Does anyone have strong evidence one way or the other? I think bancus is probably right, meaning that that sentence *should* fail. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
