Hi, what's the meaning of the warning "reference to parameter entity in token separator in internal subset" (= [VE][413]) ? The (homebrewn) DTD says (excerpt): <!ENTITY % types "language*, extlang*, script*, region*, variant*"> <!ENTITY % legacy "grandfathered*, redundant*"> <!ELEMENT LanguageSubtagRegistry (%types;, %legacy;)> The validator emits warnings for %types; and %legacy; (and 13 similar warnings for other parameter entities). In the XML spec. I found that brackets in parameter entities must be properly nested, no issue for my case (and that would be an error). It also recommends that parameter entities don't start or end with separators (comma for a sequence, or vertical bar for a choice), also no issue for my case. I tried to add spaces as in ( %types; , %legacy; ), but that didn't kill the PE warnings. When I substitute the PEs I get as expected no warning, but the DTD is less "human readable" (as far as humans read DTDs :-) Frank -- Tested document: <http://purl.net/xyzzy/home/ltru/lstreg2.xml>
