Norm,
Would you be interested in making available a LiveDTD
version of 4.2 CR1 on the OASIS website? The first thing I
do with a new DTD is make a LiveDTD version so I can
browse it easily. I figure other people might like to
see it that way. If not, I can just put it up on my website.
BTW, there are 388 elements and 2160 parameter entities
in 4.2 CR1. For comparison:
Elements PEs
-------- ----------
Docbook 4.2CR1 388 2160
Docbook 4.1.2 375 2067
DocBook 3.1 351 1888
DocBook 2.2.1 278 58
The number of elements hasn't grown that fast, but it's
obvious when the DTD was really parameterized!
