You'll just have to enforce that in your own code. Perhaps XML Schema would
address this, though I'm not sure, and its not fully official yet so you'd
be taking your chances to base any system that needs to be out in the field
any time soon on it.

Subject: OT: DTD help!
Hello everyone,
This is a DTD question. I tried to search on the list but couldnt find any
information. I have a DTD definition of an element like this:
<!ELEMENT Session(#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST Session id ID #REQUIRED>
When I looked at the spec, it says the attribute value of id should always a
*valid* xml name. So, I should always start with a letter. This, in my case
(as a matter of fact, many cases where usually IDs are numeric), doesnt
work, since Session IDs are always numeric.
keeping in the mind that i have to make sure all my session elements have to
different, is there any way to get around this?
Thanks
rajesh
