I'm not quite sure what you mean here. An XML 1.1 document can include 1.0 external entities. According to the XML 1.1 spec: An XML 1.1 document may invoke XML 1.0 external entities, so that otherwise duplicated versions of external entities, particularly DTD external subsets, need not be maintained. However, in such a case the rules of XML 1.1 are applied to the entire document. I'm not sure what that last sentence means. Can anyone answer these questions? 1. What should a 1.1 aware parser do when from a 1.1 document it loads an external entity that uses an unescaped C1 control character? 2. What should a 1.1 aware parser do when when it loads an entity labelled as 1.0 and which is malformed by virtue of using an escaped C0 control character? 3. What should a 1.1 aware parser do when it loads an invalid (but well-formed) external 1.0 entity which would be valid except for the use of NEL in white space in element content? -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@m...
