Hi folks

I have asked a pair of questions on the lists and I am getting answers
without connection with my question. I guess the question was ill
formed. So, here is the problem, and I hope that I make it clear this
time.

My probleme is that two versions of Openjade  behave differently. I
noticed the problem first using a customized DTD, but I actually don't
have problems with catalogs, http support, customized DTDs or things
like that: the problem is that a a root element named html is
not processed in the same way by different versions of openjade.
Actually, it is not processed in the same way by OpenSP.
Here a little example using onsgmls:

test.dtd:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<!ELEMENT html   (head,body)>
<!ELEMENT htmlPL (head,body)>
<!ELEMENT head   (#PCDATA)*>
<!ELEMENT body   (#PCDATA)*>
===================================

Four xml files using the DTD in the internal or external subset
externe.xml:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "test.dtd">
<html>
  <head>tete</head>
  <body>corps</body>
</html>
===================================

interne.xml:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
[
<!ELEMENT html   (head,body)>
<!ELEMENT htmlPL (head,body)>
<!ELEMENT head   (#PCDATA)*>
<!ELEMENT body   (#PCDATA)*>
]>
<html>
  <head>tete</head>
  <body>corps</body>
</html>
===================================

externePL.xml:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE htmlPL SYSTEM "test.dtd">
<htmlPL>
  <head>tete</head>
  <body>corps</body>
</htmlPL>
===================================

internePL.xml:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE htmlPL
[
<!ELEMENT html   (head,body)>
<!ELEMENT htmlPL (head,body)>
<!ELEMENT head   (#PCDATA)*>
<!ELEMENT body   (#PCDATA)*>
]>
<htmlPL>
  <head>tete</head>
  <body>corps</body>
</htmlPL>
===================================

try:
The shell used to run nsgmls try.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
result=$(uname).err
rm -f $result
for file in *.xml
do
  onsgmls -v -f error $SGML_BASE_DIR/dcl/xml.dcl $file
  rc=$?
  echo " ----------- $file -> $rc ---------" >> $result
  cat error >> $result
  rm error
done
===================================

Linux.err:
Test with: "OpenSP" version "1.5pre6"
Eror (return code = 1) on externe.xml
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 ----------- externePL.xml -> 0 ---------
 ----------- externe.xml -> 1 ---------
onsgmls:externe.xml:2:32:E: DTD did not contain element declaration for document type name
onsgmls:externe.xml:3:5:E: element "html" undefined
onsgmls:externe.xml:4:7:E: element "head" undefined
onsgmls:externe.xml:5:7:E: element "body" undefined
 ----------- internePL.xml -> 0 ---------
 ----------- interne.xml -> 0 ---------
===================================

CYGWIN_NT-5.0.err:
Test with: "OpenSP" version "1.3.4"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 ----------- externe.xml -> 0 ---------
 ----------- externePL.xml -> 0 ---------
 ----------- interne.xml -> 0 ---------
 ----------- internePL.xml -> 0 ---------
===================================

So, my question is: Why is there a difference on the processing of
externe.xml, which is the file with an "html" root and which uses the external
DTD. Is there an automatic switch to html backend with the new version?
Why is onsgmls unable to use the DTD? (notice that there is no catalog, no
remote file: the DTD is in the same directory).
