I tried that. MSXML4 didn't report the syntax error with NewParser set to 
True (on the DOM).
the dtd was (same as in my first post):

<!ENTITY % ATTLIST "<!ATTLIST ">
<!ENTITY % CLOSE ">">
<!ENTITY % ELEMNAME "doc">
<!ENTITY % ATTNAME "att">
%ATTLIST; %ELEMNAME;%ATTNAME; CDATA #FIXED "value"%CLOSE;

It seems like MSXML4 handled this correctly (? see my first post) when 
invoked with default settings (via IE6) - NewParser property turns some DTD 
well-formedness checkings/processing off I assume, it doesn't expand 
default attribute with this setting either. I'm not sure what's the
correct/acceptable behaviour anymore...
So, if %ATTLIST; and %CLOSE; pe references should
raise syntax error, MSXML invoked thru IE6 browser seems to handle this 
correctly,
<!ATTLIST %ELEMNAME;%ATTNAME; CDATA #FIXED "value">
is accepted and default attribute value is expanded correctly via IE6 too.

hmmm.


with respect,
