It's something we cannot check, at least currently not. It's not
possible to express this constraint in terms of XML DTDs. Even worse,
SP, the SGML parser the Validator currently uses, has even more
limitiations in it's XML support, see http://www.jclark.com/sp/xml.htm
We are, however, working on that :)
