That's too bad. Merely submitting an RFC to a wider audience (like this one for example) could have caught these issues quickly, and resulted in a better-designed DTD. >It's pretty funny if you put the DTD into a tool that automatically makes JAXB style bindings. >You end up with millions of objects each of which contain a single piece of data.

Since the parser validates XML... do you mean that the DTD did not agree with the emitted XML period? Ouch.
