I don't think that a DTD-less parser should make any presumptions about content model. It shouldn't care, or presume that a particular element has element content, mixed content or ANY content. That's why we have to have a parsing model that has no such distinctions. In other words, I think that if we keep the ANY keyword, it would be entirely for that subset of the parsers that DO USE DTDs. Paul Prescod
