The draft proposal is for "DTD Notations". The syntax proposed is:
<!DOCTYPE xxx SYSTEM "xxx.xmlschema"
NDATA http://..xmlschemas >
I doubt ISO will move on this unless XML or some other SGML
community requires it, and I doubt that XML would require it.
So I take it to mean that ISO JTC1/SC34 is happy to allow
non-DTD schema languages providing they are well-defined
(in the same way that SGML allows many DTDs,
many syntaxes, many encodings).
