I complained about this before, but it didn't get fixed. The latest RDF syntax draft says in clause 6: # The values for each ID and bagID attribute must not appear more than # once within a document nor may the same value be used in an ID and a # bagID; that is, these two attributes have XML AttType ID. But this cannot be, because the XML Recommendation says in clause 3.3.1: # Validity Constraint: One ID per Element Type # No element type may have more than one ID attribute specified. A simple workaround is to create a new "<rdf:Reification bagID=xxx/>" element type, to be a child of the Description element used to hold the bagID. This permits documents containing (restricted) RDF to be validated with an appropriate DTD. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk? N. You tolkatiff scowegian?
