w/o == without

and reject="true" is an attribute, not a sub-element :-)

clearly this one!

this one is bad, since it is invalid; you would have to write it as
follows

 <sequence-item ...>
    <default-entry id="chapter-0" />
    <entry id="chapter-1">0.000</entry>
    <entry id="chapter-2">10.000</entry>
    <entry id="chapter-3">20.000</entry>
    <entry id="chapter-4">30.000</entry>
 </sequence-item>

which would make the chapter-0 and chapter-1 entries very close to each
other which is not usefull... you should always use
<default-entry> instead of <entry>0.000</entry>, since the former one
points to the beginning of the mpeg stream, whereas the other points a few
mpeg packs behind it, skipping some header-mpeg information...
