What's a DTD for, if not to tell you in useful, real-world terms what's wrong with your XML? The question isn't whether it tell you everything that's wrong, the question is whether it tells you an important subset of everything? One could just as easily complain that database schemas do not always prevent bad data getting into a database and static type checking doesn't prevent bad algorithms. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for himself Bart: Dad, do I really have to brush my teeth?
