I see. Using only the root element to see where to start, and taking the rest from the DTD.

So please, be patient with us. I can hardly wait. The beta looks very nice so far, and brings back into scope another thing I have been wanting to do for the longest time: docbook editing. > I'll do my best to find a generic method to achieve what you want for > V20final.
