No, because this is technically impossible (well, at least, I really don't see who this could be done). XXE must have a way to make a distinction between a DocBook v5+/IEEE document and DocBook v5+/OMG document. If you don't like the idea of having a distinct value for the "version "attribute, then use a different file extension for DocBook v5+/IEEE and DocBook v5+/OMG. Example: ".db5_ieee" and ".db5_omg".

The solution I've suggested is clean and should pause no interchange problem whatsoever. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
