Not true - see clause 10.2.2.5. That clause only applies to "public text for which a _public text display version_ ([90]) could have been specified but was not" (despite the fact that "if the public text is device-dependent, the text identifier must include a _public text display version_ ([90])"). The important precedent here is that the same *logical* text is fetched. For example, "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Publishing//EN" might get SDATA entities tailored for DynaText, or ones appropriate to ArborText. The same *logical* construct is fetched either way. Likewise, a DTD with added ICADD #FIXED attributes is really a display version of the same logical text and should be alternately retrievable. -Chris -- Christopher R.
