That was not intended as name calling. Sorry. "SGMList" was the noun I came up with for someone who has been involved with SGML a lot. I should have said "SGML expert" or something like that. But isn't it pedantic that when Relaxed is presented, the focus tends to be "That's not a validator. Don't call it a validator!" (even though it is according to the RELAX NG and Schematron sense of "validator") instead of focus being on the fact that Nalevka's schemas capture the constraints expressed in W3C spec prose better than the normative DTDs? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
