I think the DTD given in section 4.5 is incorrect (at least it contradicts the Schema definition): <!ELEMENT Object (#PCDATA) > Is a understand the text of section 4.5, the Object element can also encapsulate any XML markup. Therefore the content model must be ANY instead of (#PCDATA). Gregor Strictly speaking, XML v1.0 defines "ANY" to mean "any of the elements defined in the DTD" whereas we would like it to mean "PDCDATA or any well-formed XML instance". Hence, the DTD model is really inadequate here though some might consider "ANY" to be closer than "PCDATA". Note: The XML Schema model allows one to say that any well-formed XML instances can be the content of an element. Ed
