Hehe. Yeah, I could probably wrap it in a CDATA tag or something. I think
I'll just remove that code. Basically, I just had it there while I was doing
some experimentation. Mainly, I just raised this question because I wasn't
sure if I was doing something correctly with regards to how to do JSP
fragments and includes. My guess is that the problem has probably been long
since fixed in JSF 1.2. So, once I upgrade to that I probably won't even run
into the problem anymore.

On a slightly related note, I wondering how many people use JSP XML
documents instead of just normal JSP? I'm guessing the vast majority just
use normal JSP. I'm using it mainly because I thought the syntax would be a
little nicer and would be consistent with XML. It's less flexible in terms
of doing includes though. i.e. every document has to be well formed. You
can't have a header with an open <html> tag in it and a footer with the
close tag. You always have to have open and close tags in the same file.
