Subject: xmllint -dtdvalid fails to report invalid XML
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 10:54:14 -0700 
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="iso-8859-1"

This is libxml2 2.5.7.

Here's the input DTD, and the input XML:

	10:21:47 [erich AT alpha examples]$ cat /tmp/tiny.dtd
	<!ELEMENT Foo (Bar+)>
	<!ELEMENT Bar (#PCDATA)>
	10:25:42 [erich AT alpha examples]$ cat /tmp/tiny.xml
	<!DOCTYPE Foo PUBLIC "" "/tmp/tiny.dtd">
	<Foo>
	</Foo>

Here's xmllint working properly (with the `-valid' switch):

	10:20:52 [erich AT alpha examples]$ xmllint -noout -valid /tmp/tiny.xml

	/tmp/tiny.xml:2: validity error: Element Foo content does not follow
the DTD
	Expecting (Bar)+, got ()
	</Foo>
	     ^

Here's xmllint failing, by not reporting an error:

	10:20:45 [erich AT alpha examples]$ xmllint -noout -dtdvalid
/tmp/tiny.dtd /tmp/tiny.xml
	10:20:46 [erich AT alpha tmp]$ echo $?
	0

I could not repro this problem on Linux, using the same version of libxml2.
