Basic question.Anybody need a star?????

[durug]

I have a basic DTD schema like this one:

<!ELEMENT D1 (ASNHeader)>
<!ELEMENT ASNHeader EMPTY>

and the xml file like this
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM &quot;test.dtd&quot;>
<D1>
<ASNHeader></ASNHeader>
</D1>

And is not working. Instead if I change the D1 to &quot;document&quot;
so that now the DTD file looks like this:
<!ELEMENT document (ASNHeader)>
<!ELEMENT ASNHeader EMPTY>
and the XML file like
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM &quot;test.dtd&quot;>
<document>
<ASNHeader></ASNHeader>
</document>

IT WORKS!!!!!!
WHY????

Thanks

Let me answer the questions:
because
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM &quot;test.dtd&quot;>
I could use as the roor element only document
