Production [52] of the XML spec reads
AttlistDecl ::= '<!ATTLIST' S Name AttDef* S? '>'
A legal AttlistDecl would be
<!ATTLIST>
What's the purpose of an empty AttlistDecl?
Shouldn't production [52] read instead as follows?
AttlistDecl ::= '<!ATTLIST' S Name AttDef+ S? '>'
(+ instead of *)
Why was a "Possibly empty attribute definition list" (K.4.4.1,
[142], ISO 8879 TC 2, http://www.sgmlsource.com/8879rev/n1955.htm)
introduced in SGML with the latest revision?
Thanks in advance for any answer!
Bye,
Stefan.
