DOCBOOK: Re: email in author element

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Mark Miller <storefront2000@yahoo.com> was heard to say:
| According to the DocBook spec, <email> should be able to be
| a child of <author>. When validating with Xerces from the
| command line, I receive an error message stating that
| <email> is not part of the content model.
|
| Here's a direct quote from the spec:
| Parents
| These elements contain email: action, address, application,
| attribution, author, ...

The online version of DocBook: TDG is an alpha version. It's based on DocBook 4.2.

| <!DOCTYPE book 
|   PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
|   "../resources/docbook-dtds/docbookx.dtd">

You're using 4.1.2.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
