As I wrote in an earlier post: Creating customized external DTDs is a legitimate use of PIs before the DTD. Beside that: The minimum requirement for a final DOM version is that it offers a way so that each well formed XML document can be parsed properly. What you demand is a stricter XML version which forbids PIs before DTDs. As long as the current XML version defines the prolog as [22] prolog ::= XMLDecl? Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)? and *not* as [22] prolog ::= XMLDecl? (Comment | S)* (doctypedecl Misc*)? the DOM shall seek to support a proper treatment of PIs and the DTD in their order of appearance. -- ===================================================================== Dieter Koehler, M.
