ISSUE-73

Do we allow DTDs, external entities, etc.

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Basic
Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:
Currently we define document conformance in terms of the XML 1,0 using patterns
defined using the XPath 2.0 datamodel. We don't use Infoset terminology.
This could be problematic, in particular, do we appear to disallow the use of
XML entities in XML Schema documents, something which may be useful, if not
widely supported?

Should we explicitly allow or disallow DTDs in Basic Schema documents?
