I have tools that will create a DTD for a specific xml file.
Perhaps someone can provide a comprehensive faces-config file matching
the DTD and I can just parse the DTD from that file?

Seems like that'd be easier (or at least give a better starting point)
than going from scratch.

See this JIRA for more details on the effort in Geronimo that David
mentioned.

Typing the schemas in by hand is tedious but maybe not so bad if we
divide and conquer.  I'll volunteer to help if there's a consensus
around that approach.  There is a utility attached to
the JIRA that can be used to compare schemas to make sure they are
equivalent.

Best wishes,
Paul
