You need a different SGML declaration. Look at xml.dcl in the SP
distribution. XML adds "_" to the name characters. Period is already there.

To make things easy, use the SGMLDECL directive in your catalogs to set the
default SGML declaration, e.g.:

-- Catalog for XML processing --
SGMLDECL xml.dcl

-- End of catalog --
