In my own defense, in the syntaxtests.zip file from which I was working, the test was placed in a directory of tests whose common feature is that they all involved ixml grammars which need to be rejected because they are not conformant grammars. The catalogs were created by making a catalog entry for each grammar saying the grammar should be rejected. For this test case, that is not corred. > Okay.
