There is also erratum 13: To the paragraph before production [30], add "The external subset and any external parameter entities referred to in the DTD must match the production for extPE. See 4.3.2 Well-Formed Parsed Entities". so there is a "must" (and note the wording: PEs *referred to* must match extPE). -- Richard -- Spam filter: to mail me from a .com/.net site, put my surname in the headers.
