Hi Mario,
absolutely no problem. Maybe I misunderstood the thread and I thought
you refer to an XML document useful for debug. Practically a unique
document that contains all the characteristics, peculiarities and
exceptions of the XML that would allow an exhaustive debug of a parser.
If I had sensed that you refer to your personal document, then I would
not have allowed myself to make this request. Excuse me.
