Subject: Xerces 1.1 overlooks DTD/XML inconsistency. While v 1.0.3 finds t
	he bug
Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 12:32:25 -0400
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0)
Content-Type: text/plain;

X-Spam-Rating: locus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N

this is a snippet from my DTD with couple of bugs in it:

<!ELEMENT dataset (tables,choose)>
<!ELEMENT ds-tables (table)+>
<!ELEMENT ds-table EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST ds-table
 name ID  #REQUIRED
>

when I renamed tables -> ds-tables and table -> ds-table I forgot to do so
in <!ELEMENT dataset (tables,choose)>

So I am using correct xml with incorrect DTD:

  <dataset>
    <ds-tables>
      <ds-table name="ds-account"/>
      <ds-table name="ds-alloc"/>
      <ds-table name="ds-adjust"/>
      <ds-table name="ds-trans"/>
    </ds-tables>
    <choose>
      <choose-total ds-tables="ds-alloc">
  ...........


XERCES 1.1 DOES NOT REPORT ANY ERRORS


while Xerces 1.0.3 does:

om.peacetech.xsum.InvalidXMLError:  Warning: The content model of element
"dataset" refers to the undeclared element "tables". (line 3, column 34)
