ooops, sorry; but that doesn't explain the parsing errors concerning the DTD:

spec.dtd:60:17:W: named character reference
spec.dtd:60:19:E: "X2014" is not a function name
[...]



BTW: I would be nice to use the XML spec as a valid document, not just a
well-formed document. Has anyone kept the old XMLspec DTD? (I guess it's
Revision 1.0, 7 April 1998)




Bye,

 Stefan.
