Probably. >Is requiring an XML Browser to retrieve+process the DTD in order to map >element type name "FigRef" to "alink" a bit onerous?

It just means adding the attributes to the instance in the case where the DTD has been omitted (or is indicated as not being required for processing). Cheers, E. -- W.
