Yes, it is indeed DocBook 5; and it is strange. However I
get very 
similar messages from Xerces-J and xmllint, so I think it
must be my bug:

Java_Course_Notes.xml:32916: element imagedata: validity
error : Element 
imagedata content does not follow the DTD, expecting (info?
, EMPTY), got
mageobject><imagedata fileref='awt.gif'
width='107px' 
depth='140px'></imagedata>

[Error] Java_Course_Notes.xml:32916:201: The content of
element type 
"imagedata" is incomplete, it must match
"(info?,EMPTY)".

One thing I considered based on the error message was
whether it could 
possibly expect an element named EMPTY. But I can't see
that in the DTD. 
I even tried that, but as expected it wasn't valid. Adding
an empty info 
element didn't fix it either.

I'm sure there must be some crucial mistake, but so far I
can't find it. 
  I guess the next step is to boil my 500 page document down
to a simple 
test case.
