For example having a DTD could help automatically building a user interface using the DTD (I have a prototype of a Java tool that generates a whole UI from a bunch of XML files). [I would suggest that task create their own subset of the "And DTD", like a getElementsDeclaration() that would return a string or a DocumentFragment] For me DTDs are very important, and are quite fast. The only real problem is that they do not really support namespaces. Cheers, Seb. -- Sebastien Pierre.- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ Bored of Notepad, R a t i o n a l software | XML \ WordPad or UltraEdit ? .
