I think you can't. It also is impossible to find out that in document type definitions / their external subsets, except for reading comments where that information might (or might not) be written down. For checking the validity it is not interesting which element is considered to be usually the root element, like <html/> in HTML or <svg/> in SVG. One might write some document fragments intended to be merged later and check them for validity. That's no problem, as long as the fragment itself contains only one document element. (I've heard of a discussion about validity checking of document fragments as such, but I didn't have the time to follow it) Greetings Christian
