Go back and look closer at the test classification: "error", meaning there's something strange about it that parsers are NOT required to report. (Just like non-deterministic content models ...) In this case, the test predates resolution of the PE-in-attributes issues from the W3C process, and was intended to address text in the XML spec referenced by that test metadata (in section 2.8). Likely a better way to test that requirement would be to put the PE reference into a conditional section that's not expanded. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------ The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe from this elist send a message with the single word "unsubscribe" in the body to: xml-dev-request@l...
