| Dear DocBook Chair,
|
| While parsing the docbook dtd 4.2 I encountered an inconsistency with
| the Xml 1.0 specification. According to point 51, the #PCDATA directive
| must be at the front of the mixed declaration. I found out that at
| calstblx.dtd at the entity declaration 'tbl.entry.mdl' the #PCDATA
| directive is set at the end. 
|
| Could you verify this?

Yes.

But if you look closely, you'll see that tbl.entry.mdl is defined
in dbpoolx.mod as

 <!ENTITY % tbl.entry.mdl "%para.char.mix; | %tabentry.mix;">

which expands to the proper XML content model.

If you're trying to use calstblx.dtd all by itself, you'll have to
define the CALS parameter entities in a manner that's appropriate for
both your application and for XML.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
