Yoav, I see your point in your previousu post on this thread re 2.3 DTD still being valid. However what do you think regarding the possible bug mentioned in my later post below? (i.e. that a 2.4 feature used in a 2.3 file does not cause an exception, but instead is silently ignored). The validation that tomcat does on web.xml is usually very thorough, so this case seems to be a bit of an anomaly.
