Re: XML source with DOCTYPE declaration


But Zeljko, check the further messages between David and me on this thread 
-- there may be other tricks you can try.

It does seem to be an unfortunate (if unexpected) design "feature" of XHTML 
that documents using the tag set, but without the DTD, have different names 
(are in different namespaces) from valid XHTML.

Maybe the solution to your problem is to make sure your well-formed 
documents all say

<html xmlns="[insertCorrectNamespaceHere]">...</html>

...if you can do that...
