I'm not sure what your time-frame is, but would it possible to wait
until after the weekend before drawing the curtain here? I want to look
at the error stuff in some detail, but I am not going to have time until
tomorrow (Saturday).

I also want to do some checking of my SMIL library against the new APIs,
which may turn up some incompatibilities, since I am diving under the
covers a fair bit in some places.

As far as the DTD default attribute, I don't really have an opinion one
way or the either (assuming the if it's on by default, it is possible to
turn it off somehow). I guess I would very slightly favour reporting the
default value, but I have different programs that use each option, so it
just needs to be changable for me. :-)

Will post some results/comments in a day or so.

Cheers,
Malcolm
