RE : [Springframework-developer] DTD

[JP P. <jp....@ti...>]

Hi Rod,

I agree with Thomas for breaking backward compatibility now. As long as
it is not released, only a few people have to change their files.

For validating: it has to be checked how the parser retrieve the DTD
based on its name (before the URI). It's normally parser dependent. The
URI gives a chance to found it anyway. This name has to be fixed using
the convention "-//<organisation>//<format inside the
organisation>//<language>".
