I recently installed the Xindice xml database to explore the feasibility
of using it plus openoffice as the basis for an engineering document
management system. Xindice uses Xerces 1.4.3 for validation services.
For some reason xerces is barfing with:
ERROR : A '(' character or an element type is required in the
declaration of element type "draw:text-box".
ERROR : null
whenever I add a document to the collection tree. It appears to not like
this section from the openoffice drawing dtd
<!-- text boxes -->
<!ELEMENT draw:text-box
(office:events?,draw:image-map?,%sectionText;)>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box %draw-style-name;>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box %draw-transform; >
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box draw:name %string; #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box draw:chain-next-name %string; #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box %text-anchor;>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box %draw-position;>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box %draw-end-position; >
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box %table-background; >

<!ATTLIST draw:text-box draw:layer %layerName; #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST draw:text-box draw:corner-radius %nonNegativeLength;
#IMPLIED>
which looks kosher to me (and expat). I found a recent reference to a
similar bug here:

I'm confused. What has "got fixed now"? How do I get "the fix". Is this
a xerces probelem, a w3c problem or an openoffice problem? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
