Hmm... I wondered when that entered the spec. I have on my hard disk a file called xml.xml which is the original XML specification, from which the HTML for the original XML 1.0 was generated (mind you, it's migrated through a few laptops between 1996 and now); so I went and looked in there, and yep, it's in there. What it's saying is true, e.g. <!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "http://example.com/x.xml?foo=1&bar=2"> <foo/> is well-formed. But it certainly could have been expressed better. Sigh. -Tim
