Description
The presence of either: just <SASprocess/> or <SASprocess></SASprocess> will cause the loading of Cansas xml files to fail. Seems to be SASprocess specific as <SAScollimation/> is handled ok.

This brings up a question. What should we do with data that doesn't fully meet the spec. I don't think immediately rejecting the data is the right way to go, but a warning or popup of some sort would be useful and continue to attempt to load the data. I am reopening this ticket for now.

I modified the XML reader to attempt to load data that does not exactly match the Cansas v1.x format. If the data does not match the format, an error is thrown explaining where the XML is invalid, but the loader continues to try and load as much of the data as possible.

This seems to work. I just loaded an XML file with no SAScollimation element and the popup told me so! I ok'ed the box and the data appeared in SasView and plotted.
An empty SASprocess does not meet the Cansas specification. At least 1 SASprocessnote element must be present. An empty SASprocessnote within a SASprocess element would be valid.
