Personally, I really hate the idea of subsetting. There's too much subsetting in existing XML parsers. It's an interoperability problem that causes real confusion and pain for developers. If this really goes forward, subsetting should be defined only at the document level. Parsers must still be required to properly process all legal XML constructs, including the internal DTD subset and processing instructions, at at least the minimum level of XML 1.0. We must not encourage or bless the development of parsers that can't handle XML 1.0. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
