In order to determine what would need to be changed in Docbook to make it an XML DTD (a project the Davenport Group is contemplating under the working name Duckbook, "Docbook for the Webbed," as Jon dubbed it), I've constructed a first cut, available at http://www.sonic.net/~tallen/xdb01.zip This is not yet Duckbook, and the Public Identifiers and copyright notice are for convenience rather than an assertion of where this effort is going. The zip file contains a catalogue, a test file "blue", and four DTD/entity files: xdb.dtd, xdbhier.mod, xdbpool.mod, and xdbgen.mod. I tested a variant of this set (the variants included minimization parameters) and "blue" parses as SGML. I would be grateful if members of this group who are running XML parsers would take the time to see whether this DTD, XDB 0.1, is valid XML. Please send me comments at tallen@s.... This release is not intended for real work, and I do not warrant that it is good for anything, will not cause data loss or equipment failure, or will not rot your mind. I excised all the table stuff, as I suspect that the CALS table module we used (from SO TR9502) is probably not XML-safe. If anyone has adapted it for XML and is willing to share, please let me know.
