Arnoud, It wouldn't go againts SGML rules to have element and attribute names case insensitive. All I think would be needed would be to have somewhere in the SGML declaration something like NAMECASE GENERAL NO ENTITY NO instead of the current NAMECASE GENERAL YES ENTITY NO However, I can assure you that this is far from anything I have heard recently about "Cougar". And I have been rather involved in other discussions about "Cougar" and case sensitivity, so I guess I would have to know. Regards, Martin.
