Where are you sending it to? Do you need to validate the XML on each I/O?

The service in question returns a recordset. Reading around I could see that returning a CFQuery object was not a suitable solution and so I chose to return an XML String representing the recordset. I understand that Coldfusion sends the return value of the service method as XML, using a schema to describe this XML. The XML that I am returning is an XML formatted string (my return type in the CFC method is 'string') inside of that. My question then is this: Should I use a DTD to describe the XML that I am returning or should I use a Schema or does it not matter? Hope that makes any sense...
