xml-dev - XML and repeatable model groups

[<geirog@falch.no>]

Hello,

I've been trying to modify Jon Bosak's SHAKESPEARE dtd in order to make it
work with the newest version of NSGMLSU (ver. 1.1.4), that came with Jade 0.7.

Using this command:

d:\sgml\instans\shakespe>nsgmlsu -wxml -s hamlet.xml

----------------------------------------------------------------------
>From the dtd: <!ELEMENT line     (#PCDATA | stagedir)*>

This is correct, so no errors are reported.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
>From the dtd: <!ELEMENT line     (#PCDATA | stagedir)+>

D:\WINUTILS\JADE\NSGMLSU.EXE:shakspe2.dtd:22:39:W: #PCDATA in model group
that is not repeatable

Why is this flagged as an error/warning? Isn't this a repeatable model group?
Or isn't (#PCDATA | stagedir)+ a legal model group in XML?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

>From the XML-draft (970331) section 3.2.2:

Mixed-content declaration[45] 

Mixed::= '(' S? %( %'#PCDATA' ( S? '|' S? %(%Name (S? '|' S? %Name)*) )* )
S? ')*' | '(' S? %('#PCDATA') S? ')' '*'?

The spec doesn't seem to allow '+' in a Mixed-content declaration. Is this
correct?
