I thought namespaces were a pain to implement. I have a question about "Validity constraint: Proper Declaration/PE Nesting" [1] I understand that this is saying the following is violates the VC: Doc1.dtd ======== <!ENTITY % e "<!-- a "> <!ENTITY % f "%e;comment -->"> Doc2.dtd ======== <!ENTITY % e "<!-- a "> But what about this: Doc3.dtd ======== <!ENTITY % e "<foo>"> <!ENTITY % f "%e;</foo>"> <!ENTITY g "%g;"> I think that it is legal but who knows anymore. As near as I can figure it doesn't violate this VC because it is not a markup decl specifically. Also, it is not a violation of "Validity constraint: Proper Group/PE Nesting" [2]. I assume it is valid because of this text in 4.3.2 "An internal general parsed entity is well-formed if its replacement text matches the production labeled content. All internal parameter entities are well-formed by definition." Bonus questions: Which wins out: "Well-formedness constraint: In DTD" [3] or "Not Recognized" [4] [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#vc-PEinMarkupDecl [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#vc-PEinGroup [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#indtd [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#not-recognized Thanks, Jeff Rafter
