Re: XML::Twig '0' PCDATA erased? | tool recommendation for transformation project
Hi.

Forgive if I'm too dense here, but trying to get xml::dom to install I 
ended up muddling w/ the test files. In there was the doc:
<!DOCTYPE simpsons [
 <!ELEMENT person (#PCDATA)> 
 <!ATTLIST person
  name CDATA #REQUIRED
  hair (none | blue | yellow) "yellow"
  sex CDATA #REQUIRED> 
]> 
<simpsons> 
 <person name="homer" hair="none" sex="male"/> 
 <person name="marge" hair="blue" sex="female"/> 
 <person name="bart" sex="almost"/> 
 <person name="lisa" sex="never"/> 
</simpsons> 

(it seems my version of toString and clone mess w/ the spaces around the 
pipes ("none | blue" becomes "none|blue" so the toString tests failed and 
the default "yellow" comes out 'yellow' ...)

So I was trying the above as a test doc, but XML::Checker::Parser says:
XML::Checker ERROR-101: undefined ELEMENT [simpsons]
        Context: line 8, column 0, byte 156

while XML::Parser sails on by. I was using the TestCheckerParser.pl 
script from libxml-enno (1.02).  CheckerParser doesn't complain if I add:
<ELEMENT simpsons (person+)> 

to the DTD.  Is there a correct answer here?
