There was a discussion on the email list about what the plan was here, but
I'm blonde, and it's not entirely obvious what the conclusion was.
- =Option 1: No DTD, only normative Schema=
+ = Option 1: No DTD, only normative Schema =
This makes the most sense to me. Schema is not exceptionally more difficult
to read than DTD, and tools support for it is widespread now. DTD is not
easily digestable by XML toolsets for metadata transformations. This is
especially important in MDA applications.
- =Option 2: Normative XML Schema, non-normative DTD=
+ = Option 2: Normative XML Schema, non-normative DT D=
If we go this route, I believe that the DTD should be generated from the
Schema. This is unfortunately difficult because Schema contains a couple of
constructions that cannot be translated. Manual synchronization of the DTD to
Schema is going to be prone to error, if it occurs at all.
- =Option 3: DTD only=
+ = Option 3: DTD only =
I think this has already been eliminated.
