I autoassociated "It uses DTDs" with "non-xml syntax" in my reading. My apologies to Wayne. However! There is nothing syntactically non-xml about that string as a Public ID. It has only minimum data characters. (I think I'm one of the few people in the world - maybe the only one - who doesn't automatically expect to see FPI syntax in XML public ids. I could claim this as an excuse for my misreading, but I won't - I should have read more closely anyway.)
