IMHO the objections to notations are really reactions to the failure of the XML spec to explain its purpose: datatyping. A notation can be applied to the #PCDATA content of an element (via a NOTATION attribute) or to an external file. The general failure to understand this causes new mechanisms for datatyping to be constantly reinvented. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... You tollerday donsk? N.
