That is not good advice, the SGML DTD mechanism is even more grossly defective.

No comment, but I didn't say "use DTDs".


The solution in this case is to propose an alternative schema mechanism.
People speak highly of relax.

Use Relax NG.


It is an issue but not a major one, certainly XML Schema is broken
and should be fixed

Can't be fixed, from what I know. I do think it is a major issue.


but the solution is not to bar its use, that is predjudice masquerading as 
architecture.

The banning suggestion was ha-ha-only-serious, but it would not be
prejudice. It would be discrimination, in the best sense of the word.
