Hi,

Oh OK I just need to specify a different name attribute for the
<relaxng> element. Thanks, got it.

If I dare I think maybe a behavior like the one described here could be
implemented: http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#cust-naming (I think
Jirka designed this)
By adding a new attribute to the <relaxng> element, we could have
something like that:

<relaxng compactSyntax="true" encoding="ISO-8859-1" location="dict.rnc"
        name="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
        version="5.0-subset LSWE-DICT-1.0"/>

Likewise the standard DocBook templates provided by XXE should maybe
provide the version attribute in the root element.

One last question: why are the docbook and docbookxi addons mutually
exclusive?

Thanks for your patience,

Camille.
