    <thetext>This has been cooking on my mental TODO list for some time. I very much agree;
we should attempt to optionally parse attribute values for a subset of known
DOCTYPEs.

Depending on when XML Schema Validation lands, the easiest way to achieve it may
be by way of a custom Schema for XML-based DOCTYPEs (unless the W3C
retroactively publishes Schema for all existing document types).

The alternative is to &quot;reinvent&quot; Schema (which we may have to do for the SGML
types in any case) as a generic checker and configuration files listing possible
data types and ranges for each attribute. And that is most definitely a task for
after the Validator is modularized!</thetext>
