But there are likely to be mixed systems out there for a long time to
come. One of the premises of GNOME2 is that a lot of old GNOME1 apps
will not be ported in the near term, and therefore both systems should
be able to run in parallel.

In addition, to the extent ScrollKeeper has been adopted more widely,
there may be other old-style OMF files remaining in the wild.

Is it possible to make the newer versions (SK>3.6 or whenever the new
DTD came into use) more tolerant of the error caused by an old OMF that
doesn't validate against the DTD?

Cheers,
John
