Well, any non-validating parser is free to do that today. (It's not quite clear to me from the XML Rec whether a validating parser is compelled to actually read an external DTD subset, or whether it may simply assume what it contains.) The downside is that some non-validating parsers, those that do not read the external subset, will reject the document as not well-formed. -- BALIN FUNDINUL UZBAD KHAZADDUMU cowan@ccil.org BALIN SON OF FUNDIN LORD OF KHAZAD-DUM http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
