   Good that you now acknowledge that the HTML is standards compliant.  =
I'm surprised you suggest non-compliance with a hack like "if no class
= set assume MsoNormal upon rendering".  You're really being a
hypocrite = here.

   Word 2003 uses XML namespaces as you should have noticed from the =
HTML element

I'm surprised you haven't seen this if you have actually done any work = on
this content.  Maybe you are just lying.

  Duuuuhhhh I know that. It's more the fact that every damn element has=20
  MsoNormal on it. For no damn reason. Increases the size of the file by =

  quite a margin (esp when added up with all the other MS/Word crap =
which=20
  gets shoved it).

  Instead MS could have taken an "if no class set assume MsoNormal upon=20
  rendering" but noooooo instead let's decorate like a looney using his=20
  own faeces.


  As such were one to try & bring this word created crap in unfiltered=20
  then your XML files would grow with loads of completely superfluous=20
  MsoNormal class attributes.

  Ho hum. (A) Which Word? We're mostly on 2003 with other versions =
dotted=20
  about. (B) I don't suppose you have a nice & simple way in which all=20
  those copies of word can be set to save as std XHTML & nothing more?

  Nice & clean XHTML. No silly MsoNormal decorating etc.
