OK, I was too quick. After some spec. chasing and head scratching, I think I understand what you were trying to do here. Maybe clearer if it read: <note diff="add"> <p>If an XML document which specifies <code>standalone="no"</code> in its XML Declaration is processed with either this profile or the <specref ref="idProfile"/>, defined below, the resulting infoset may be lacking items that the author deemed significant. But no error will be signalled, as just noted above, a conformant XML processor conforming to one of these profiles cannot be a validating processor, and checking the standalone declaration is not 'no' in such cases is a validity constraint. Processors conforming to one of these profiles may accordingly wish to provide some form of warning if they encounter <code>standalone="no"</code>.</p> ht -- Henry S.
