Livio's proposal was IMHO better, state what you have done: If it was a "known" FPI ("known" from the validator's POV whereever it's running) use it or a shorthand like XHTML 1.1. If it was "unknown" or some other SI state this. Finally if nothing goes throw an error: "I don't know any DTD for your" $insert_DOCTYPE "- make sure that there are no typos and that URLs used as system Id.s are absolute (f|ht)tp URLs". > Pity. I liked that feature. :-( Me too, but from the validator's POV public Id.s it doesn't know are bogus or dubious at best. Bye, Frank
