Good point. I think there is a genuine conflict here. But I read clause 4.5 (allowing PE references in entity values) in conjunction with the WF constraint "PEs in Internal Subset", and I believe that internal entity declarations within the internal subset may not contain PEs in the entity value. Can we get a more authoritative or more knowledgeable commentator? > [T]he supplied grammer was for the internal subset, and knew I didn't have > to worry about the external in the first round because I didn't want to > validate. The supplied DTD grammar is actually for either subset *after* PE references have been expanded and conditional sections removed appropriately. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
