/ Piet Seiden <ps@db.dk> was heard to say:
| I'm starting out with XML, trying to convert existing documents using the
| DocBook XML DTD (4.1.2). As editor I have tried using XML Spy 4.0 but have
| not been able to validate anything, not even simple sample documents. Before

Any validating parser that does not validate DocBook is broken.
