Element X is not a true subclass or subtype. Given a content model: <!ELEMENT J (Y)> You cannot use an X. What you've done above is make an element whose content model is more restrictive than some other content model. You can also do that without exclusions. I don't think I've ever used exclusions in that way. One big problem is that the exclusion doesn't just change the content model, but the content model of all of X's children. You don't want that if all you need is content model subsetting. Paul Prescod - http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco "Journalism is good if you follow the rules.
