Hi XML editors, In both the XML 1.0 and 1.1 specs, the "Mixed" production is defined in the same way: 1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#sec-mixed-content 1.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#sec-mixed-content Mixed ::= '(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '#PCDATA' (S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '|' S<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? Name <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-Name>)* S<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')*' | '(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '#PCDATA' S<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')' And the following mixed element declaration examples are given: 1) <!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA|a|ul|b|i|em)*> 2) <!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA | %font; | %phrase; | %special; | %form;)* > 3) <!ELEMENT b (#PCDATA)> It is clear to me how examples 1) and 3) are parsed, but I do not understand the 2nd case. "%font;", "%phrase;" etc... look like the PEReference production, and not like Name one. Name, more precisely NameStartChar, does not accept '%' as a first character. So, should I read the "Mixed" production as follows, or is the provided example wrong? Mixed ::= '(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '#PCDATA' (S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '|' S<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? (Name <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-Name> | PEReference))* S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')*' | '(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '#PCDATA' S<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>?
