Here is my parsing error ...


Description: F A '(' character or an element type is required in the
declaration of element type "metanote".

Reporting the error that comes from the parser could help...

From what I know about DTDs, it seems that the (symposium?,contribgrp?) 
piece is at fault: it says that these two elements should come in this 
order, adjacent to each other,--- a constraint that should not be
imposed 
in mixed content.  But seek a second opinion if you need a definite 
answer.
