Am I correct in thinking that one benefit of requiring entity and element structure to be synchronized is that a well-formed document is also well-formed before general entity replacement; ie you can parse the document before entity replacement, parse the entities and then just insert the parse tree of the later into the former? If this is true, then is there some similar constraint that could be applied to use of parameter entities? This might already have been done in the choice of where to use % in the productions but I can't quite work out the pattern. It would be nice if parameter entity replacement could be described without recourse to the % notation in the spec's productions. Would it be helpful, for example, to increase the number of non-terminal symbols in the grammar and then specify which non-terminal symbols can be replaced by parameter entity reference? PS Can people check out http://www.jtauber.com/xml/ and let me know (off-list) what they think and what could be added? Thanks James -- James K. Tauber / jtauber@j...
