NOTATION declarations interact with at least two things: (1) attributes of type NOTATION, currently invisible in DOM; (2) unparsed ENTITY objects, currently visible in DOM. Don't be canfused by the fact that DOM's partial support for NOTATIONs doesn't support (1), a primary use -- they _do_ so interact. - Dave
