Ah, that explains it.

Arh! I'm getting confused by all the different versions here. Sorry,
you need this in xmlproc.py as well to have it call that method (just
replace the existing method with this, hopefully this does not depend
on other changes):

    def parse_doctype(self):
	"Parses the document type declaration."

	if self.seen_doctype:
	    self.report_error(3032)
	if self.seen_root:
	    self.report_error(3033)
	
	self.skip_ws(1)
        rootname=self._get_name()
	self.skip_ws(1)

        (pub_id,sys_id)=self.parse_external_id()
	self.skip_ws()
	
	if self.now_at("["):
	    self.parse_internal_dtd()    
	elif not self.now_at(">"):
            self.report_error(3005,">")

        # External subset must be parsed _after_ the internal one
	if pub_id!=None or sys_id!=None: # Was there an external id at all?
            sys_id=self.pubres.resolve_doctype_pubid(pub_id,sys_id)
	    self.app.handle_doctype(rootname,pub_id,sys_id)
            
        self.dtd.prepare_for_parsing()
	self.seen_doctype=1 # Has to be at the end to avoid block trouble

 
| It looks as if 0.60 will be very helpful to me when it's released.

Hopefully it will be to a lot of people. And after I decided to delay
DDML support (the standard previously known as XSchema) and DTD
caching to 0.61 what remains is mainly upgrading the regression test,
documentation, running test etc  

Just the mechanics of getting out a new version.

It may, yes. I guess it all depends on David Megginson and how much
time he can devote to this. If the discussion turns out to take too
long we'll just have to put out a SAX 1.1 in the meantime.
