Mauritz,
Nice solution. Thanks.
The advantage of my solution is that the generated db can be validated against
the targetdatabase.dtd. Any tags that appear in <ttl> or <xreftext> as well as
any named entities will be put in a CDATA section and are therefore treated as
pure text.
I wonder if there is any chance to get this into one of the next builds (that
would simplify my customization layer a bit).
Does anybody think its worth filing a report?
Cheers,
Marco
