The simple fix is to change standalone='yes' in the XML declaration at the start to standalone='no'. The meaning of standalone='yes' is that the document can be parsed without reading external markup declarations, effectively the document type definition. And the XML specification says that this is not possible in certain cases, including a situation where the external declarations specify default values for attributes. Ref.: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-rmd In XHTML, the 'a' element has its 'shape' attribute defaulted to 'rect' (this is purely syntactic and applies even when such an attribute has no role to play, as in a normal link), the 'form' element has its 'method' attribute defaulted to 'post', etc. Yucca
