Re: [Xmltask-users] Inserting an element at the correct position according to the DTD

[Brian A. <br...@oo...>]

I think this requires some DTD interpretation, and requirements for that 
could be more complicated than for the below! e.g. A then B, OR, C then 
D etc. You won't be able to do this sort of thing in xmltask as far as I 
can easily see :-(
