>>>Brian McBride said: > No, certainly not, just to be clear that dtd processing is expected to happen In some sense. The XML spec defines this, but *validation* is not required. That's tricky for RDF/XML since there is no DTD :) (although you can make one for profiles of RDF/XML) > Oh dear, though, there is another wedge here.

RDF/XML is based on a set of XML standards (previously cited), there is no way it can be expected to handle other XML formats that aren't being used. If an attempt is made to use them by adding new XML attributes, they may drop out as RDF properties or more likely, break the grammar. As far as I've worked out so far, the W3C XML Schema language uses a different approach to multiple namespaces that doesn't work too well in multiple-namespaced RDF/XML, as well as using non-namespaced attributes which aren't allowed at all in RDF/XML. My stuff for simple DC in RDF/XML, validated by WXS http://ilrt.org/discovery/2002/01/dcxml-xsd/ uses external validation. But this is a whole different story. Dave
