> However, the XML Schema for MathML allows any content. Is > this an error in the schema? hmm the dtd is the same (even if the MathMLstrict parameter entity is set). It's not necessarily "an error": there are several constraints expressed in the prose text that are not enforced by the dtd and schema for technical or historical reasons. Historically the dtd was designed to be fairly lax to allow elements to be used in "new" contexts, with semantics supplied by definitionURL or an extension attribute in another namespace etc. The the MathMLstrict parameter entity tightens up the constraint checking in the dtd and the schema is on the whole more like the "strict" version of the dtd. Speaking personally I think I agree with you that bvar should be constrained to take cn and degree only in the strict dtd and schema, but we'd need to discuss it within the IG before publishing any errata or update. Thanks for the report. David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star. The service is powered by MessageLabs.
