Yes, that's right. Please remember that XXE does not really support DTDs. They are converted on the fly to XML schemas. However, I don't remember if XXE treats ANY as xs:any by default, or if it's a side-effect of the <validate> configuration element. > > One thing, though: I am not actually interested in validating my "x" > elements.

Sorry but we do not plan to support NVDL, nor the feature you describe. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
