Pure plain text with no markup allowed probably > makes the most sense in title elements and such. Content models of PCDATA and EMPTY represent the terminals in DTDs. That is, bold, italic, etc. have a PCDATA content model. Furthermore, in more data (as opposed to document) applications of XML, PCDATA-only content seems to be relatively common. For the moment, I have left PCData in and required Mixed to take at least one ElementRef, per your earlier suggestion. -- Ron Bourret xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
