If I ever got around to it, DTD validation wouldn't be my approach. I'd use Jing with Relax NG and a hand-written SAX filter for checking what Jing cannot check. (text/html could be handled by substituting a parser that inferred optional tags and appeared to the app as a parser parsing XHTML--like TagSoup without error recovery.) > | 1.

Why bother with DTDs now that Relax NG exists? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
