Hi,
I am thinking to change:
"A Document Type Definition is an XML schema language and defines a
set of declarations that conform to a particular markup syntax."
to simply read:
"A Document Type Definition defines a set of declarations that conform
to a particular markup syntax."
I prefer this from the HTML 4.01 spec
<http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/intro/
sgmltut.html#h-3.1>
An SGML document type definition declares element types that
represent structures or desired behavior. HTML includes element types
that represent paragraphs, hypertext links, lists, tables, images, etc.
