I think the answer to this question is of no direct interest, since comments are freely discardable. However, it leads to the question: is the sequence "%foo;" in a comment, where "foo" is not a known parameter entity, an error? Clearly, I say, it is not an error, but I cannot produce any warrant for this. BTW, the Goldfarb/Prescod _XML Handbook_ claims that the string "<!ENTITY" in the DTD cannot be replaced by a reference to an (internal) PE, but fails to give a warrant for this claim either, since declarations are not one of the things which clause 4.3.2 says cannot be split between entities (perhaps by oversight?). -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
