It is not valid XML, because of 3 things:
1) the <?XML version="1.0"> PI is missing.
2) <moddate> is used case-insensitive
3) Being a wellformed document, a parser considers <site> as the
document (root) element. xmlwf considers anything after </site> as
junk. Need to introduce a different root element.
Further it reads:
[...]
<file0007>
<url>frontier5/download.html</url>
<moddate>Sat, 13 Dec 1997 23:01:36 GMT</moddate>
</file0007>
<file0008>
<url>frontier5/fasttrack/aboutThisSite.html</url>
<moddate>Sat, 13 Dec 1997 00:54:49 GMT</moddate>
</file0008>
<file0009>
[...]
Having numbered tag-names it's impossible to give a DTD, as
there is an potentially infinite set of tags. Why not only use <file>
and leave numbering to the receiving application ? Or give the numer
as attribute <file id="0009"> ? Why there is a need for numbering at
all ?
