I've indeed installed RH 8 and have taken many careful looks at how they (Daniel, actually) do XML catalog registration. I can say that it works, but it strikes me as not really taking full advantage of the delegation features inherent in the XML Catalog spec. (Adam pointed this out in an earlier message - and I very much agree with him here.) It's more like our old, pre-LSB SGML catalog system than it is like the current, hierarchical SGML catalog system - which in itself has some minor problems and is IMO in some ways very non-debian like. Modulo the typos and unavoidable conceptual errors, I believe that the basic ideas behind my proposal are consistent with Adam's dictum: [...] to look not just at "how can it be done" but also "how can it best be done". By "best", I mean, the way of doing XML catalog registration that leads to the most robust system. Now that we have a base from which to start, through further discussion we can hopefully develop an XML catalog system that is truly robust. But then I'm an optimist:) Cheers, Mark P.S. Many thanks to all who've NMU'd my packages. _____________________________________ Mark Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian XML/SGML <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home Page: <http://dulug.duke.edu/~mark/> GPG fp: 50DF A22D 5119 3485 E9E4 89B2 BCBC B2C8 2BE2 FE81 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
