Schema attributes
Does Xerces's implementation of the Schema CR allow for any way to define an
element attribute without any associated value, e.g. in a way similar to <td
nowrap> in html?
thanks much,

Of course...I didn't see that. Now I understand why it was written as
<!ATTLIST td
nowrap (nowrap) #IMPLIED
bgcolor %Color; #IMPLIED
width %Pixels; #IMPLIED
height %Pixels; #IMPLIED
>
in the XHTML DTD.
It all now makes perfect sense.
Thanks much,

| No. It's not due to the Schema spec - <td nowrap> is not well formed XML,
