Re: XSLT choking on DTD?

Probably, %inline and %block have a common element included -
something like

  <!ENTITY % inline "character | image | ...">
  <!ENTITY % block "paragraph | image | ...">

The repetition of "image" in these two lists makes the resulting
content rule for "footnote" non-deterministic, since a standalone
<image/> can match the production in more than one way.
This is considered an error [see XML Spec, 3.2.1]. But I wonder
why should XSLT precessors report it as a lacking parenthesis?

IMHO, you should supply definitions for %inline and %block
to get an answer.
