In article <OF495225A3.D1651174-ON85256AA3.005D15A5@com> you write: >So ... if >Namespace prefixes are irrelevant, how do I write a (namespace-aware) DTD >to validate a document instance? Short answer: you can't. Slightly longer answer: you can hack it with parameter entities - see the DTD for schemas for an example: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.dtd >I also don't see right off how W3C XML Schemas (can't we just call this >XSD?) will help, but I'm more hopeful of built-in support there. HELP! Yes, one of the reasons for schemas was to overcome this problem. You declare a "target namespace" in the schema, and it validates instances that use that namespace whatever prefix they use. -- Richard
