MSXML6 reports an error (MSXML4 and Xerces report no error) when validating against a DTD (ProhibitDTD=False and ResolveExternals=True)

Question

Hi,

I am validating an XML file against a external DTD using MSXML. When i use MSXML6 an error is reported that is not reported by MSXML4 or Xerces. I do the following:

  XMLDOMDocument.async := False;
  XMLDOMDocument.setProperty('ProhibitDTD', False);
  XMLDOMDocument.resolveExternals := True;
  XMLDOMDocument.validateOnParse := True;

The XML:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE ONIXMessage SYSTEM "http://www.editeur.org/onix/2.1/03/reference/onix-international.dtd">
    <ONIXMessage>
        <Header>
            <FromCompany></FromCompany>
            <SentDate></SentDate>
        </Header>
        <Product>
            <RecordReference></RecordReference>
            <NotificationType></NotificationType>
            <ERROR></ERROR>
        </Product>
    </ONIXMessage>;

MSXML6 reports:
Line 9
"Element 'RecordReference' is unexpected according to content model of parent element 'Product'." which is wrong(?)

MSXML4 reports:
Line 11
"Element content is invalid according to the DTD/Schema." which is correct because "<ERROR>" is not allowed in that context.


Can somebody help me?


Thank you,
