Well, Bob, just open them up in PFE and select Replace 
then type the right stuff in the right text box.  Hit 
Return.

Too simple?  Ok, I'll record a macro to put the stuff 
in the right boxes.
 
Still too simple?  But it works... whine....

Hello, my name is Bob and I'm a programmer.

I work for a B2B company. My task today is to process
incoming XML documents that are known to be valid against the foo
DTD and change all occurences of the word "STUFF" to "stuff".

I need to leave the documents otherwise unchanged in all material
respects as they are going on to a third company in a B2B chain.

Here is the DTD:
         <!ELEMENT foo (lit)*>
         <!ELEMENT lit (#PCDATA)>
         <!ATTLIST lit text CDATA "STUFF">

Here is a sample document:

         <?foo bar?>
         <!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "foo.dtd" [
         <!ENTITY bar "this is some STUFF">
         ]>

         <foo>
         <lit text="hello">
         <![CDATA[This is literal
         STUFF]]>
         </lit>
         <lit>
         &bar;
         </lit>
         </foo>

How should I proceed to do my job?
regards,
Bob
