Right. Support for private-use characters in XML names will always be a Bad Thing, because nobody outside the private user can tell which characters are letters and which aren't, so it's either all or none, and "none" is the most sensible choice. Just be prepared to revisit XML so that Unicode 3.0 name and name-start characters can get included. This will allow the creation of DTDs written in serious Real World languages like Macedonian, Syriac, Divehi, Sinhala, Burmese, Ethiopic, Cherokee, various Canadian Native languages, Khmer, Mongolian, and Yi. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
