We did have some errors that were fixed in the schema during the review period, but they should have been compatible with the spec. I'll need to check my notes for others but the first was that toc.rnc doesn't appear to be included anywhere but the toc element is in the list of included elements.

Ah, that was a very simple change - epigraphs often contain lines from poetry or drama so we extended the content model for epigraph to allow linegroup and dialog. cheers nic > > Thanks and best regards, > > --Scott > > Scott Hudson > Senior XML Architect > http://www.flatironssolutions.com > > > > > > On 11-Jan-10 3:21 PM, Nic Gibson wrote: >> On 11 Jan 2010, at 18:36, Scott Hudson wrote: >> >> >>> Folks, >>> >>> while work on the Publishers SC has been suspended until we can get a DTD to generate from the approved RNC schema, I have been able to create a wiki for future discussions and work: >>> >>> http://wiki.oasis-open.org/docbook/PublishersSC >>> >>> Best regards, >>> >>> -- Scott >>> >>> Scott Hudson >>> Senior XML Architect >>> http://www.flatironssolutions.com >>> >>> >> >> Evening (late evening from my point of view) >> >> I'm new to all this so I'm a bit behind on everything (and I have no idea of etiquette so please forgive me if I've failed to something important - like introduce myself*). >> >> What's the problem with generating the DTD?
