Title: some findings on "XML Tools" and "XHTML 1.1 with SVG and MathML DTD" (XML isn't simple) I just wanted to share some experiences with Modular XHTML and XML tools. We developed according to the rules specified in the W3C recommendation of 10th april 2001 "Modularization of XHTML" an XHTML Host Language Document Type leaving out some XHTML modules and including SVG and MathML. We wondered how different XML tools could handle this DTD in which parameter entities and conditional sections are heavily used. Schema and DTD editors.

Conclusion: XML 1.0 + namespaces isn't simple. Even after almost 4 years, a lot of tool vendors cannot handle more complex DTD's. Don't argue that DTD's don't matter anymore. For modular XHTML no schema framework is in place yet and I'm very curious about the proposition w3c will come up with. Regards, Paul Pro Text
