1. All three DTDs in appendix A contain the declarations:
<!ENTITY % inline "a | %special; | %fontstyle; | %phrase; | %inline.forms;">
<!-- %Inline; covers inline or "text-level" elements -->
<!ENTITY % Inline "(#PCDATA | %inline; | %misc;)*">
. . .
<!ENTITY % block "p | %heading; | div | %lists; | %blocktext; | fieldset | table">
<!ENTITY % Block "(%block; | form | %misc;)*">
<!-- %Flow; mixes Block and Inline and is used for list items etc. -->
<!ENTITY % Flow "(#PCDATA | %block; | form | %inline; | %misc;)*">
The comment
<!-- %Flow; mixes Block and Inline and is used for list items etc. -->
should be rewritten as
<!-- %Flow; mixes block and inline and is used for list items etc. -->
because "Block" and "block" as well as "Inline" and "inline" are different entities since entity names are case sensitive in XML.
2. The focus parameter entity
<!ENTITY % focus
"accesskey %Character; #IMPLIED
tabindex %Number; #IMPLIED
onfocus %Script; #IMPLIED
onblur %Script; #IMPLIED"
>
is defined in all three DTDs but it is not referenced in the "a", "area", "input", "textarea", and "button" ATTLIST declarations where all four of the above attributes occur and are defined in the same way.
3. The "strict" DTD contains the statement
This DTD module is identified by the PUBLIC and SYSTEM identifiers:
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
For clarification I suggest that this statement be replaced by
This DTD module is Invoked by the DOCTYPE declaration:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
where the system identifier should be changed to that of the installation.
I suggest similar statements for the "transitional" and "frameset " DTDs.
