Yes, I suggest that the user who uses the standard DocBook stylesheets change the SGML Declaration if he wishes to use the underscore in his IDs. That's why the SGML Declaration is there, to declare what is allowed and what not, it is not LyX' job to check this. It is the parser's job - and the parser *must* take into account the user's SGML declaration. > Also if lyx deals with all the references there is no problem as it will > be always consistent. > Consistent or not, LyX will be messing up with the user's choice of labels - and that's not LyX' business. > > I suggest to leave validation to validating parsers, or, if you want to > > validate, then use an external one, don't try to reinvent the wheel.
