* Peter Murray-Rust | | Are there any examples of XML documents that use IDREF? I've got one at <URL:http://birk105.studby.uio.no/www_work/xml/sgmlglos.xml> <URL:http://birk105.studby.uio.no/www_work/xml/glos_xml.dtd> | The XML-REC (in XML) would appear to do so as there are a number of | attributes ending in *REF, but since I have not yet found the DTD | this is guesswork. Actually, that's one DTD it would be very nice to have for testing purposes. Is it available anywhere? (Please?) In my experience ID/IDREF is very nice for simple cross-references inside a document, since they're so simple to use. (The error handling need not be Draconian. nsgmls-like behaviour where the reporting can be turned off is IMHO sensible for this, since there may be invalid references while the document is being written.) | IDREFs are concise and simple to implement(?). Compared to XLL, yes, but they do require a parser that reads the DTD. I've not added them to my own parser yet, but they won't require much work (unless there are hidden surprises, of course). -- "These are, as I began, cumbersome ways / to kill a man.
