Dave, please don't confuse the schema modelling language with the editor used for the instance. RNG/C is unquestionably the best tool for modelling schemas, complex or otherwise. But it isn't supported yet by enough editors, and — critically — IFF your model does not require schema-like features like hard datatyping, there should be nothing to stop you using a DTD if the editor you prefer only supports DTDs, and all the features you need can be represented in a DTD. It's a stopgap. In an ideal world, nxml would have a proper interface toolset, suitable for *authors*, and we could then lay DTDs to rest somewhere quiet and flowery. ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
