Otherwise, even a bloodhound won't be able to get back from the document to the spec when the DTD is ignored or has gotten lost. Maybe I'm not following all the subtleties here. What's wrong with the namespace way of doing it? Pat > >I find that answer unappealing, though I don't have >any particular argument against it.
