SGML declaration for XML

[Stefan Mintert]

Hi!

which is the correct SGML declaration for XML?

I found three:

1a) <!SGML -- SGML Declaration for XML --
       "ISO 8879:1986 (ENR)"

1b) <!SGML -- SGML Declaration for XML --
       "ISO 8879:1986 (WWW)"


	both in http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-sgml-xml-971215
	Comparison of SGML and XML


and

2) <!SGML -- SGML Declaration for XML --
     "ISO 8879:1986 (WWW)"

	in http://www.sgmlsource.com/8879rev/n1955.htm
	ISO 8879 TC2


I understand the difference between (1a) and (1b), but there is a difference
between (1b) and (2):


(2):  
	NAMESTRT
	      95 170 ...

	NAMECHAR
	      45 46 58 ...

(1b):

	NAMESTRT
                   58 95 ...

	NAMECHAR
                   45-46 183 ...





As far as I know (1b) is correct, since XML 1.0 reads:

  [5] Name  ::=    (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)*

which means, a Name may start (NAMESTRT) with a ':'



But I'm not sure...
Could someone please confirm or correct my assumption.

Thanks in advance for an answer!



Bye,

  Stefan.
