There's still a minor grammatical error here. The semicolons are wrongly placed in the sentence However, processing the external DTD subset is optional for conformant XML processors, and some specifications, notably <bibref ref="SOAP"/>, forbid DTDs completely; leaving no guarantee that all consumers of the XML document will be able to successfully recognize the identifiers. This sentence should read: However, processing the external DTD subset is optional for conformant XML processors; and some specifications, notably <bibref ref="SOAP"/>, forbid DTDs completely, leaving no guarantee that all consumers of the XML document will be able to successfully recognize the identifiers. That is, put a semicolon after "XML processors" and change the semicolon before "leaving" to a comma. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
