[WSG] All in the Head DTD feedback

2006-01-10 Thread Karl Dawson
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.

It removes any confusion for both technical history buffs and
newcomers I feel. Let me know if that works for you or not.

Regards,

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.
