The difference is whether you allow a node to contain "mixed" (as the XMLians call it) stuff (nodes and text, basically) or you allow certain nodes to only have one text element at the very beginning (Org). Actually, Org is more confusing than that, because inline markup, blocks and all that /are/ allowed to mix with normal text. Cheers -- t
