I'm curious if there's a (official?) document on their site in which they
state this? If there is, I must have missed it. It seems strange, because
DTDs are used in a lot of w3c specs, including XHTML and XML-Schemas itself.
Not to mention the important role they play in the XML specification. How
can the w3c stop supporting DTDs without going against the XML 1.0 standard?
