This question reminded me of a question I was wondering about.
Does *anyone* use an SGML or XML system that actually *cares* about
NOTATIONs? Would *any* application suffer if we simply did away with
the notations and allowed the format attribute to be either a delimited
list or just CDATA?
Be seeing you,
