Subject: RE: New version of the Table of contents document I am very new to this. Please forgive me if I made a mistake. As far as I am concerned, all the identifiers (either a URL pointer, dumb number like a DOI, or a meaningful number like issn, or SICI should be surrounded by metadata in a registry service. And it is the metadata that need namespaces. I tried to declare entities in the XML document instead of DTD on IE5 for client-side processing. It works. As we all know, the IE5 for the client-side processing is a non-validating parser. I have not tried it on the server-side yet. By the way, the idea of doing so should be credited to Steven DeRose. Hope this helps! A. -----Original Message----- From: Didier PH Martin [mailto:martind@n...] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2000 2:41 PM To: Amanda Xu; 'Peter Murray-Rust' Cc: xml-dev@i... Subject: RE: New version of the Table of contents document Hi Amanda, Amanda said: -- AX: Agree. I use the entities for URL links to our image server (as a parameter entity, instead of using unparsed ones). It works beautifully. All I need to do is to maintain the image links in entity declaration section. I really think it is redundant to use namespace for identifiers. Anyhow, it is just my own opinion. Didier replies: This solution requires that you use a validating parser and that you include a DTD in the TOC document. We are searching for a solution that can work in a non-validating as well as in a validating environment. Cheers Didier PH Martin ---------------------------------------------- Email: martind@n...
