1. XML Schema are at least 12 months out before ready for public
consumption.
2. XML Schema is over kill for what i need to accomplish.
3. The proposed DTD is just a starting point and is used here just to convey
an idea of the structure of a needed XLM file.
4. A XML Schema can be generated after-the-fact of the design of the XML
file structure (defined by the DTD) if one is needed.
5. When XML Schema is ready the proposed DTD can be replaced by one (if
needed).
6. Do i need to continue with this...?
I don't mean to be condescending or hostile to your post but it took me some
time to look at XML Schema and figure out what they are, how they work and
if i can use it now. Please be considerate of this when you post information
like this and do not assume that every one is going to know what you are
talking about. Now i know that you are only trying to help and i thank you
for your input but please when you make a recommendation please make sure
that it is a viable one that we can use immediately.
