Hi Mandy,

Thanks for the info.  I've looked at the DTDs, and you are correct.
GetLegendGraphic and GetStyles are NOT supported as XML elements in
1.1.0 (see DTD at:
http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/wms/1.1.0/capabilities_1_1_0.dtd).  If
I eliminate GetLegendGraphic and GetStyles elements, the XML is valid
again.  We'll have to omit this from the 1.1.0 output Capabilities
response.

Keep in mind that, although we will now omit GetLegendGraphic from
MapServer's OGC:WMS 1.1.0 GetCapabilities response, we should still keep
the LegendURL in the capabilities, which points to GetLegendGraphic
requests; this is fine (just because it's not supported in Capabilities
XML doesn't mean we can't use it to offer up a legend image).

I've filed bug 1826 against this issue
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1826).
