In section 3.3:
"For interoperability, writers of DTDs may choose to provide at most one
attribute-list declaration for a given element type, at most one attribute
definition for a given attribute name, and at least one attribute
definition in each attribute-list declaration."
Should this read:
"...at most one attribute definition for a given attribute name in an
attribute-list declaration,..."
As it is currently, it seems to imply that no two elements in a DTD can
have attributes of the same name, which is obviously wrong. For example:
<!ELEMENT div ANY>
<!ATTLIST div
class NMTOKENS #IMPLIED
>
<!ELEMENT span ANY>
span
class NMTOKENS #IMPLIED
>
should be legal.
