[xml2rfc] Explanantion of improved file inclusion local/remote 'directory' search, please.

[elwynd at dial.pipex.com (Elwyn Davies)]

Hi.

I am just finishing the slides for the Dallas edu session on xml2rfc.

To save me having to experiment too much, could Charles, Marshall or 
somebody else expand a bit on the directory search mechanisms:  v1.31 
experimental page seems to imply that there is a unified search 
mechanism for local and remote files - does this mean I can now 
incorporate local directories and network URLs into the XML_LIBRARY 
environment variable? Is this now looked at in both <!ENTITy and <?rfc 
include file searches?  For completeness could you compare this to the 
v1.30 situation.

Thanks,
Elwyn

I notice that when I omit a required attribute of an element, the error
traceback mentions every enclosing tag *except* the one in error, and
the error message is in an internal format "I could not find string xxx
in data structure yyy", which really means "I could not find the
mandatory attribute xxx in the list of attributes of tag [omitted]".

Could this be made clearer?
