Of course, we could release a modified version of the DTD in

the "name" attribute not declared as of type "id". Thoughts?
Using a type ID for name was not a good choice, but I don't think we
can change it. If anybody was using the log4j.dtd in a different
context, they possibly could have depended on the ID-ness of name
since there are certain DOM methods (Document.getElementById for
example) that would behave differently if the type was changed.
I think the safer approach is to modify the error handler so a
validation error is treated as a warning. So in this case, you might
see an warning from the XML parser that the name is not valid
according to the DTD, but things would still work. Turning off
validation entirely (effectively what the JoranConfigurator did)
would be another option.
If we get any feedback on the WebSphere XML issue, I'd be willing to
try to knock both of them down quickly.
