I thought this is some sort of validation? My question was not about duplicate IDs but duplicate entity definitions like <!ENTITY reference.mhash.functions SYSTEM [...] <!ENTITY reference.mhash.functions SYSTEM pointing to the same file '/opt/phpdoc/en/reference/mhash/functions.xml' I am wondering about, why this double definitions exists and whats the reason for. Because this double definitions, I assume, let xmllint throw repeating errors of the same cause. Friedhelm
