"Roger L.

Okay, so your agent is reading the document. It runs into an element in another RDF namespace. You want to use that namespace's URI component to read in additional schema information. Two problems: 1) namespace URIs don't necessarily point to schemas, and 2) if they did, you'd be extending the schema mechanism in a way that's incompatible with DTDs, as they're normally defined and understood. I don't know if its possible, from an implementation standpoint, to add the DTD after you've already started parsing the document. And if you to could, whether doing so would be reasonable. Surely this sort of problem has been discussed in the SGML community. Can someone who has hashed all the details out already perhaps post with some commentary? -- Richard Goerwitz PGP key fingerprint: C1 3E F4 23 7C 33 51 8D 3B 88 53 57 56 0D 38 A0 For more info (mail, phone, fax no.): finger richard@g... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
