Today you sent me mail regarding [wml] Re: WML 2.0.1:

OK folks, the problem here is that we have a multi pass compiler
where the individual passes do not know about each other ... 

lets have an example .... <BLA></BLA> and <BLB></BLB> are complex
tags both defined in mp4h:


1) <H1>hello<BLA>hello</H1></BLA>

2) <BLB>hello<BLA>hello</BLB></BLA>

3) <BLA>hello</BLB></BLA>

4) <BLA><perl>print "<BLB>"</perl></BLB></BLA>

5) <BLA><BLA><perl>print "</BLA>"</perl></BLA>

6) <BLA <BLB>></BLB>></BLA> or <BLA <BLB>></BLB></BLA>

7) <BLA <BLB></BLA></BLB>></BLA>

what should now happen when each of the lines above gets processed ...
