Most XML parsers should support your example as long as you code it in the
following manner:

<!ELEMENT TOTO ( #PCDATA | TOTO )* >

e.g.: The PCDATA must come first and the asterisk is required.

>From the spec:
Examples of mixed content declarations:

<!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA|a|ul|b|i|em)*>
<!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA | %font; | %phrase; | %special; | %form;)* >
<!ELEMENT b (#PCDATA)>

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to have recursivity in XML Documents / DTD... Some parsers
seem to like it, others not...

Something like :
<TOTO><TOTO>hello</TOTO><TOTO>world</TOTO></TOTO>

<!ELEMENT TOTO ( #PCDATA | TOTO ) >

Any idea ? Specs?
