Eve, your idea is an interesting one:
> <?XML ATTLIST PrimaryIE
> xml (linkto) "linkto"
> xmlnames CDATA #FIXED "linkends ptr"
> scheme (intid) "intid"
> ?>
but I think I see a problem with it -- XML documents would use these
extra attributes, but they would not be declared to the SGML parser,
and the result would not be valid SGML.
Now, at one point, a partial DTD wasn't allowed -- it had to be all
or nothing. If that's still the case, the rules on undeclared entities
are inconsistent. But if it isn't the case, I think we must either
(1) apply pressure for multiple Attlists, and help draw up a draft
amendment if necessary;
(2) until then, stick to markup that is clearly different.
<?-XML- URI element A attribute HREF?>
<?-XML- URI element FOOTNOTE attribute HREF?>
<?-XML- SYSTEM element IMAGE attribute SRC action embed?>
or even
<?-XML-XHL- -XML-XHL-URI- -XML-XHL-ELEMENT A ..... ugh?>
