We're getting offtopic, so I'll say this and shaddup: A better approach would have been to design Namespaces so they were more DTD-validation-compatable, but that didn't happen (and I can see that it would have been tough). Another better approach would have been to get a core version of Schemas out the door early -- enough to do DTD-equivalent validation but Namespace-aware -- so we could start to move away from DTDs. That hasn't happened yet. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
