RE: Invalid character found [dtd]

This is not an XSLT question! (And the error message is from the XML
parser, not from Saxon).

An NMTOKENS value is restricted in the characters allowed. Blame it on
SGML. If you want more flexibility, move to XML Schema.

Subject: [xsl] Invalid character found [dtd]


Friends,
I am writing a stylesheet for EAD 2002 XML tag set (into 
PDF). I am writing it against the DTD. I wanted to make the 
DTD more exact. The problem I have is that the syntax in the 
ATTLIST has an illegal character "/". Anyone have any idea 
how I can change the DTD so that it will accept the "/" 
character as an attribute value?

Examples below.

Thanks,

DTD available at:
