Working through mail thread by thread has its disadvantages. Having read the threads about recognition via GI and attribute and commented before seeing this one, I now have to modify my views. Rats. I think reserved attributes may be the best way to go, but they are best handled with multiple attlist declarations. When and if ISO changes SGML to allow multiple ATTLIST decls, that will be the only mechanism needed. In the meantime, I agree with Paul Grosso and Hasse Haitto that a PI is a good mechanism, and with Paul Grosso that it can be viewed as a substitute for using multiple attlist declarations. (But then, I thought DTD summaries were a good idea, too; this feels very similar.) -CMSMcQ
