Hi there, short remarks concerning Martin's feedback >2. XML applications which have to make use of entities have to be build >in such a way that entities can be localized easily (ie. the XML >application has to be internationalized wrt. entities). MD>How would that be done? That's from my understanding one of the questions we have to answer. A quick guideline for the DTD case may look as follows: - modularize your DTD - put all entity declarations into a separate module/file - follow a naming scheme for your entity modules which reflects recommendations for locale-specific information (e.g. name your file with English entities 'MyResource_en_US'). >3. If entities are used, the XML instances should be declared as >'standalone' (see ><http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-rmd>http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#se c-rmd). MD>I don't understand that. Surely, if you have external MD>entities, the XML document is no longer standalone, MD>and pretending that it is won't help. So it should be MD>standalone="no", or not? Of course, Martin is right. Best regards, Christian
