No. MyMessage is declared above as a Parameter Entity (PE), not as an element. Look for definitions that start with <!ELEMENT. Also, look for for occurrences of IGNORE around any such definition. If you see MyMessage used, try to find out what it's "normal" definition is; the definition you gave is IGNOREd unless UsingLocalNames is defined to INCLUDE (which I assume it is not). For example, if there was the fragment <!ENTITY % MyMessage "Envelope"> <!ELEMENT %MyMessage; (From|To)> then the name of the root element would not be MyMessage, but Envelope.
