I think I'm of the same mind as you. I'm not so attached to DTDs that they'll be pryin' 'em out of my cold, dead hands, but I do need to see them replaced properly. In our haste for advancement, it's worth considering that a lot of meaningful XML work has been done using DTDs and a lot of projects still use them, for better or for worse. My preference is for them to eventually be abandoned in favour of a clearly superior approach - it's too dangerous and disruptive to give them the flick and then figure out how to replace them. -- 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
