You are right that there is no *extensive* archive of XML material and we are suffering because of that lack. Certain people have contributed things which may (or may not) be consistent with the latest draft :-) - that's one of the problems. The places where these are reported are: - XML-DEV , and I try to extract things like this into XML-JEWELS at http://www.vsms.notingham.ac.uk/vsms/xml/jewels.html - http://www.sil.org/sgml/xml.html - Robin Cover keeps an eagle eye for anything of value. Jon Bosak's Shakespeare, and religion are pre-eminent and are a good test for whether a system can cope with 'real documents'. I haven't looked at religion, but Shakespeare has a clean and natural markup without attributes. So it's not a torture test. (I don't think there are DTDs - I think I hacked my own). I don't think there is any mixed content in Shakespeare Michael Sperberg-McQueen wrote a torture-test for XML parsers early this year. We seriously need this up-to-date - maybe Michael is reading this :-) I have written a lot of Chemical markup language (CML) at http://www.vsms.nottingham.ac.uk/vsms/java/jumbo and it uses attributes heavily. However there is NO mixed content in CML, and the output is disappointing without a chemical browser :-) There are snippets of XML in the XSL spec, an the RDF spec and in the MathML spec. None of these have (I think) DTDs [MathML has one in principle]. I have now tested 3.5 parsers under JUMBO and have found that there is sufficient variation between them that we really need some test documents. (Some of the variation is behavioural - i.e. should a browser fail if it reads <!DOCTYPE FOO SYSTEM "foo.dtd"> and foo.dtd doesn't exist.) In my view, collaborative *action* is worth many kilowords of discussion, and if you can help put together such a resource it would be extremely useful. Best Wishes P.
