[oXygen-user] DTD validation and namespace prefixes

[George Cristian Bina]

Dear Lars,

The DTDs are not namespace aware, if you want to validate against the 
DTD then the qualified name of the elements must be exactly what you 
define in the DTD. For instance you can change the schema to use the 
Schematron namespace as default namespace.

On the other hand the Schematron validation from the oXygen Schematron 
editor should ignore the DTD for validation but I see that it does not 
ignore it... We will fix that - the DTD if specified should be used only 
for eventual entity resolution. My suggestion is to remove it if your 
intention is only to validate against that.

Best Regards,
George
