Hi- I sent this to xml-dev@lists.xml.org, but got no reply, so I was hoping someone here could clarify. I've been playing around with the <oXygen /> XML editor, seeing how SVG-handy it is, and I've run into a question. I don't normally but DOCTYPE declarations in my SVG files, since I declare the namespaces in the root (and since it causes some problems in script with import and parsing a file that does have a DOCTYPE declaration). But the Oxygen editor says it's not valid if I don't have one; in fact, it doesn't even recognize it as SVG. So, can anyone confirm or categorically deny that one needs the DOCTYPE declaration to have a valid SVG file? This is counter to what I have gleaned from the SVG Spec (though I can't find a reference at the moment). Also, do I need a <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> header, and if so, when? Oxygen doesn't care if I do or not, but I just want to Do The Right Thing. Regards- Doug doug . schepers @ vectoreal.com www.vectoreal.com ...for scalable solutions.
