Entity files' references in mathml3 dtd

[Eduardo Tabacman]

In the mathml3.dtd file I see that the entity files are referenced like this (for instance):

<!ENTITY % isobox PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Box and Line Drawing//EN" "entities/isobox.ent">

but the entity files themselves have comments saying their public identifiers should end with //XML:

<!--

Public identifier: -//W3C//ENTITIES Box and Line Drawing//EN//XML
System identifier: http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/isobox.ent

The public identifier should always be used verbatim.
The system identifier may be changed to suit local requirements.

Typical invocation:

<!ENTITY % isobox PUBLIC
"-//W3C//ENTITIES Box and Line Drawing//EN//XML"
"http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/isobox.ent"
>
%isobox;

-->

The mathml3.dtd seems to be wrong here (I think the identifiers used to be without //XML before)... right?

Oooh either way that's a bug. Thanks for reporting it.

The mathml2 ones didn't end in //XML as you say. I think the //XML got
added while merging things with the ISO 9573 sources, but the mathml3
dtd generation hasn't been updated, sorry. I'll update mathml3.dtd
unless someone speaks up and says that isn't the correct fix.

www-...@w3.org to the CC list so the bug is on public record there.]

Thanks for that. I have updated mathml.dtd to use the PUBLIC identifiers
ending in //XML when including the entity files.
