Is this how it's done? That is the fully standards-compliant way. Application conventions such as XLink (when it stabilizes) can simplify this process by allowing in-line URIs and letting the network infrastructure provide the remote document-type. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
