As far as I understand you don't have a choice. As simples as it can be. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-sgml-xml-971215 http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/frame-sgml/html/quick-fm-xml-guide-4.html That is if you change the smgl declaration it is no more xml. That is how read it. Note that I can be wrong. Please try saxon with different labels and see the result. Is it what you expected? ... > I understood that '-' and '.' already are allowed by the standard? If I'm right we making a tempest in a tea pot. That is what I'm trying to say, I don't see anymore choice other than the '_' so the resulting document is not insane. No need to make it complex. The other point of Chris is: should lyx be clever and not tell the users that it is fixing the document without the user's approval? Chris thinks not, the lyx core team thinks otherwise. All the discussion comes to this. And only for sgml, not for xml. ... > Does Lex::lex give unicode chars? Does std::string store them? > Should we bother?
