I think most parsers resolving URIs found in ENTITY declarations should be smart enough to ask for application/xml; text/xml. That's what they're always going to want anyway. Unparsed entities are trickier, but nobody uses them anyway, and since they have to be resolved form the document rather than the DTD (that is, you don't load an unparsed entity until you find an ENTITY or ENTITIES type attribute) there's room in the document for an additional attribute that specifies the content type desired. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
