In article <ENAG.91Apr3141917@holmenkollen.ifi.uio.no>, I wrote:

   In the meantime, I'd like to suggest paying careful attention to the
   parameter separator (ps) and entity references, which in my experience
   is mishandled by simple-minded parsers

Apparently, it's also mis-handled by simple-minded posters.  I
provided you all with a handsome collection of syntax violations.

    <!ENTITY foo "a"		>
    <!ENTITY bar "(b|c)"	>
    <!ENTITY zot "(d)"	>

should be

    <!ENTITY % foo "a"		>
    <!ENTITY % bar "(b|c)"	>
    <!ENTITY % zot "+(d)"	>

and

       <!ELEMENT%foo%bar+%zot	>

should be

    <!ELEMENT%foo%bar%zot	>

or canonically

    !<ELEMENT%foo;%bar;%zot;	>

Sorry about this.  Luckily, it wasn't increcibly important to my
point.  (But still incredibly annoying:  *I* made a mistake!  Awful.)
