On reflection: I believe we decided on that because it's easier to support this capability now, in anticipation of Level 3, then to change it later. Some folks have complained loudly when an operation that used to be an error stopped being an error, believe it or not. > That means for me to build a conforming implementation, I would need to > support importing entities and notations, however meaningless that > capability is. It may or may not be meaningless in Level 2 but I think this falls in the category of "easy (it really is), harmless, and you're going to have to do in in Level 3 anyway." ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
