Er, the idea is to provide the simplest solution that meets the needs, not the solution that requires least work on the part of the people writing the specification. The use of Architectuaral Forms might require all XML processes to read the DTD, in which case it might as well not be optional. > The next step will be defining regular expressions for parsing the GI to > determine which extensions are being used.

C++ has :: in much the same way as has been suggested for XML, and does not have regular expressions for parsing identifiers. Lee
