Subject: RE: Why Doesn't IE5 use the DTD to Validate? From: "Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 18:12:59 -0500 |
HI Chris, <YourComment> > >From what I understood from certain position taken by this list members is > that the default behavior should be that when a DTD is present there should > be structural integrity validation. If not, no validation is done. That is the intent of the XML 1.0 specification, yes. </YourComment> <Reply> Specs should not be attached with unspecified intentions :-) If this was the 1.0 specification intentions then why it is not explicitly specified that a DTD is required for validation (a absolute requirement to be XML compliant) and that a XML interpreter should validate the document against this DTD. this would have been better. </Reply> <YourComment> Not "could be"; *is&*. That is the intent of the XML 1.0 spec. That is what a validating parser does when encountering a document with a doctype declaration and an internal subset with anything other than just entity declarations. </YourComment> <Reply> Maybe I didn't read enough the specs and there is a paragraph I missed. Chris what is the paragraph specifying explicitly what you are saying. This would help. I searched, I am maybe too tired but I cannot find such statement in the specs. I don't speak here of tacit intentions in the mind of some people. I speak here of written words. </Reply> Regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
