Subject: Re[2]: [xsl] This can't be right, XML with no root element: Saxon & XT vs. Xalan From: "Michael R. Hahn" <sgml.xml@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 12:04:28 -0400 |
Hi, David: DC> Hmm yes I know. Unfortunately I can't reconstruct my state of mind DC> at the time I wrote my previous reply..... However what is true is DC> that in XML, anything referenced by &xxx; is a chunk of XML. This discussion caught my eye this morning, mostly because so far no one has actually said they tried it. So I did... <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE test [ <!ENTITY test SYSTEM "test.entity" > <!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA) > ]> <test>&test;</test> test.entity: <?xml encoding="UTF-8"?> This is a test. Xerces-C, Xerces-J, SP, MSXML3, ElCel's validator, RXP, and the Oracle parser all declared this valid (any parsers I didn't use simply weren't available on this machine). REC-xml-20001006 says an external parsed entity consists of an optional text declaration followed by content (production 78); content may consist of character data (production 20). So it appears to me that anything referenced by &xxx; *might* just be character data. Have I missed a subsequent erratum? -- ===================================================================== Michael R.
