With SGML it's easy - you just need to extend the SGML declaration to allow the characters to be valid name characters. With XML, the only thing I can think of off hand is to define the attributes as CDATA rather than ID/IDREF and write something to check that the values match up, possibly as a post process. ID/IDREF processing can't be resolved until the end of the document has been reached anyway, so this might not be a huge disadvantage. -- Regards, Marcus Carr email: mrc@a... _______________________________________________________________ Allette Systems (Australia) email: info@a...
