System.Xml.XmlDocument and DTD's (The end, I hope).. Got email from Dare Obasanjo about System.Xml and DTDs. I had asked him via email:

Even though I can go with XHTML 1.0 I would really like to know if the problem I am having with XHTML 1.1 is user error on my part or a problem with .Net.

My investigation reveals a little of both - The "'x' character in name" exception is a bug in our implementation which should be fixed in our next release of the System.Xml parser - A working version of XmlValidatingReader with validation on would fail to load the file because there are no child elements of the element which makes it invalid according to the DTD.

Thanks Dare! [BitWorking]

Great! The only question remaining is: When's the next release? ;)

Check out this nice article over on the O'Reilly Network about the porting of the Rotor CLI to the Linux platform. My only complaint about the article is that the author can't seem to stifle his distaste for Microsoft and would rather throw jabs at them all throughout the article than stick to the technical facts.
