Agreed. XML Spy has, IMHO, some serious shortcomings. I find it frustrating
that it cannot deal with entities intelligently, i.e. there is no way to
tell the IDE that a particular entity file is an include in such and such an
XML doc and I want to use that parent doc's DTD.

Just playing with Eclipse again (I love Eclipse!) and thinking... Wouldn't
it be cool to build a solid Ant specific XML editor for Eclipse? Ah, if only
one could support himself pursuing all of those great ideas one has...

ant is case insensitive in attr names; it is just the DTD that fusses. But
if we have a task to create a DTD we should be consistent in the docs.
Patches accepted ...

I issues with XML spy, even if I do use it
    -why are all the views so hard to work with
    -why does its SOAP debug only work if you can go online to resolve some
of the well known soap DTDs.
