If the DTD is to work with XML, it *must* have "- - " before all content models of non-empty elements, and "- O " before empty elements, if you were to put in OMITTAG YES. So you might as well put in OMITTAG NO. So you might as well lose the -'s and O's. Can you outline a scenario where you'd want to have OMITTAG YES and still be working with XML? - Tim
