I have a few questions on using binary data (e.g., gif, jpeg images) with XML. (1) Binary data isn't actually put in an XML file, correct? i.e., the binary data is _not_ inline, correct? An XML file just contains ASCII text, correct? (2) Just like in HTML, binary data is _referenced_ by the XML document, correct? (3) Is this the correct way of using binary data: DTD: <!NOTATION jpeg PUBLIC "JPEG"> <!NOTATION gif PUBLIC "GIF"> <!ENTITY bostonGIF SYSTEM "http://www.maps.com/boston.gif" NDATA gif> <!ENTITY bostonJPEG SYSTEM "http://www.maps.com/boston.jpeg" NDATA jpeg> <!ELEMENT map (image)> <!ELEMENT image EMPTY> <!ATTLIST image src ENTITY #REQUIRED desc CDATA #IMPLIED> XML: <map> <image src="bostonGIF" desc="Map of Boston"/> </map> Here we see an XML document _referencing_ a file containg binary data. The binary data is not actually inline. Is this how it's done? /Roger xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
