I wasn't worried so much about validation requirements. Actually that should not be a concern of Forrest (though certainly something we can help with). The issue is more about efficiency. When the xml parser encounters a document type declaration in an xml instance, then it must resolve the DTD and everything that is thereby referenced. So if you don't provide local copies, then there are network trips on every parse. We could not provide them, and just give people documentation about how to configure their own. In fact we already have that. The trouble is that they don't. Then poor Forrest would appear awfully slow to them. > (I now remember we need to move the Docbook schema out of Core into the > plugin now you fixed the catalog resolving for plugins). Yeah, another job. David
