Is there a reason that this cannot be done? I'd say you MUST do this. Consider this sort of structure, which I found in a version of the XML Docbook DTD: <![ %TOGGLE1; [ <!ENTITY % something "contents"> ]]> <![ %TOGGLE2; [ <!ELEMENT %something; ANY> ]]> That is, if you tried to parse the contents of the second conditional section and something like the first one hadn't been parsed, you would be in undeserved trouble. - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
