Yes, that's right -- I was thinking about comments. Both infoset and DOM have strange treatment of DTDs, which is broadly compatible strangeness except that the infoset _does_ report PIs (matching the XML 1.0 spec requirement). SAX2 is more useful than the infoset there, IMO. - Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Tobin" <richard@c...> To: <david-b@p...> Cc: <xml-dev@l...> Sent: Friday, July 20, 2001 9:14 AM Subject: Re: PIs within a DTD > >Yes.
