In reviewing a test case, I discovered there was some confusion about
this WFC:
Well-formedness constraint: No < in Attribute Values
The replacement text of any entity referred to directly or
indirectly in an attribute value MUST NOT contain a <.
The person who wrote the test case concluded that this WFC made the
following document not well-formed:
<!DOCTYPE foo [
<!ENTITY x "<">
<foo attr="&x;"/>
I wonder if there's somewhere else in the spec that makes this clear,
or if we want to consider an editorial clarification.
Be seeing you,
norm
