We may be looking at this from different perspectives - for me, a scalable DTD/schema is one that takes potential future requirements into account without causing an excessive negative impact on the current project. This is really a design consideration and might be made before the decision to use DTDs or schemas is even settled. > That's why I want to see actual DTDs.

We did it for a suite of 25 DTDs for the Australian Department of Defence CALS initiative some years ago, but I can't find a link to it - I think their server is down (possibly not a good thing...). Also, that was SGML. :-) -- Regards, Marcus Carr email: mrc@a... ___________________________________________________________________ Allette Systems (Australia) www: http://www.allette.com.au ___________________________________________________________________ "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Einstein
