:are correct, the declaration in the DTD above isn't legal.
Thank you, I feel vindicated. Do you know specifically where
I could find this in the W3C I looked in the XML document and
get some cryptic information about attributes and their values
but, cannot find where it actually says that "/" is invalid
in that situation.
:It's one of those cases where the phrasing and completeness of
:the question
:is very important. And (like the other DTD thread) another
:question that
:would've been very good for XML-L. Oh well.
Well, I didn't know there was an XML-L is that part of
mulberrytech as well?
