Re: What is the name of a document's "type"?


Re:  What is the name of a document's "type"?
Thanks for your answer. ... But I'm not completely happy with it
for a couple reasons:

1) I don't think there *is* a recognized namespace for docbook.

2) It can only tell me a xhtml-RDDL document is an xhtml document.
