The trouble with that is that either the related definitions have to remain together or they don't. If they do, then there's obvious structure within the XSchema that isn't being captured. If they don't, then we've introduced another level of cross-references. DTDs, of course, don't require the ATTLIST pertaining to an ELEMENT to be anywhere near it. Since at most one ATTLIST could exist per ELEMENT (at least in pre-Web-TC-SGML), can some SGML-knowledgeable person comment on the original rationale for separating ELEMENT from ATTLIST? -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
