People have said that they can't use Schemas unless they support entities, but they're mistaken: they can use Schemas and DTDs together, even if they find it distasteful. >you must use at least an internal DTD subset to support them. Yes. You can use DTDs with XML Schemas. >That's NOT schemas supporting entities, that's "we now have to use two >technologies to get done what we used to with one, since we've been >'encouraged' to use schemas in any new technologies developed." I think it was right to separate entities - a lexical mechanism - from schemas. Character substitution should happen at a level below schemas, and should be usable with any schema language (and without any). -- Richard
