Otherwise, the XML parser would have to start by running through every

them using INZ.

Not something that had occurred to me - but it makes perfect sense Joe.

I've been suggesting since this support came out folks they should use a count for any optional element. This is important because you can't always rely in initialization. For example INZ is not an option when %Handler is in use and while the V6 increases in variable sizes reduce the number of times when you have to use %Handler there are still times when you need it. If you get into the practice of coding counts for optional elements you've always got something to fall back on.
