What I refer to as STG is the validating parser @ the Scholarly Technology
Group @ Cornell:

Thanks! I fixed that.

I tried the rxp parser. I get a few warnings, like:

Warning: Ignoring redefinition of parameter entity arccosh.qname
 in entity "mathml-qname.mod" at line 92 char 56 of
http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2-qname-1.mod

...

but at least it gets through to the errors on my own part of the dtd.
Thanks for the tip. May digress a second to a couple of XML questions?
First, What is the {<!ATTLIST}, {<!ELEMENT} notation in the MathML DTD?
(for example, page 269 of the recommendation). 
Second, I have a construction that repeats over and over in my DTD as
such:

<!ENTITY % anchors "(anchor?,%argv1;,(anchor,%argv1;)*) ">

where argv1 is some set of elements that can be in the model of the
element I am defining. What I would really like to do is have the entity
above and have the elements like:

<!ELEMENT obj &anchors((vector|nlexp));>
<!ATTLIST 
	%att-inheritance;
>

I know this syntax is wrong, but is there another way of accomplishing
this same effect? I couldn't find it in my books or the web.

Thanks!
Leo.
