New pbm with DTD

Folks,

One of the DTDs I get has a Complex type with attributes

like

<!ELEMENT CUSTOMER_INTERACTION ((%DATETIME.REPORTDATE;)?, EMPLOYEE*)>

XI is unable to read such values into External definition, so I have the element CUSTOMER_INTERACTION always pointing to me as a ComplexType but with no elements.

Looks to be a bug to me..Is there a workaround??

I tried importing the DTD into BC and export as a XSD..But I face other issues there, it creates a new Datatype called 'xs:recref' which I dont have a damn idea abt..!!!

Any suggestions!!!
