A few questions

Hi--

I've just started using nxml-mode for docbook, switching over from psgml.  I have three questions:

1. Why does nxml mark tags like this <chapter id="chapter:intro"> as illegal?  If I remove the ':' in the id it's ok.  I didn't see anything in the docbook manual about not having colons in ids, but maybe I missed it.  Can I tell nxml-mode that colons are ok?  I'd rather not remove them all, as there are probably several thousand in the existing document.

2. Is there an nxml-mode equivalent of psgml's sgml-parent-document setting?  I have several entities defined in a parent document which are then flagged as invalid by nxml when editing a chapter which is included in the parent.

3. I've followed the instructions for setting up nxml-mode at http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/nxml/config.html, but still when I open an existing *.xml file, it's opened in xml mode, not nxml mode (although emacs does report that it's using the correct schema).  If I open a new xml file, it opens in nxml.  What could be causing this?  It doesn't seem to depend on whether or not the file has "-*- xml-mode -*-" in the first line.

I'm using emacs22-carbon from fink on OS X 10.5.8.

Thanks.
