Interesting question, but I fail to see the issue. What would be the use of an XML Catalog that "handled" unknown or unexpected URL's ? What would be the expected behavior (besides "not found") for a URL which was not registered in the catalog ? ---------------------------------------- David A.

The inability of XML Catalog to check for the presence of correct URLs seems like a significant limitation. XML Catalog only works if: - you have pre-knowledge of exactly what URLs will be present in the XML (XSLT, XSD, RNG, SVG, etc.) documents that you receive/process - the XML documents will always contain the correct URL; there will never be any accidental or malicious alteration of URLs Yes? /Roger _______________________________________________________________________ XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS to support XML implementation and development.
