Re: [docbook] imagedata EMPTY

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

OK, turns out this is a bug in the DTD version of DocBook 5.0, starting 
with b6 and included in b7.  I should have noticed that this content model 
looked bogus:

"(info?,EMPTY)"

A content model is either EMPTY, or is has something optional.  This should 
be just "(info?)". As written, it expects a required element named <EMPTY> 
but none is declared in the DTD.

Could you please bug report this on the SourceForge site?
