Re: And the DTD says, "I'm NOT dead yet!!"

/ Danny Vint <dvint@slip.net> was heard to say:
| Are we seriously thinking that CALS, DocBook, etc are going to be rewritten
| as full Schema applications?

For what it's worth, I've taken a stab at an XML Schema for DocBook and
may take a stab at a RELAX Schema as well, just for fun. You can find
the XML Schema results at

   http://www.sun.com/software/xml/developers/docbook/

| What's the value in doing that?

Little more than intellectual curiosity at the moment. Over the long
run, I can imagine a future in which an authoring application (for
example) exists that I want to use but that only understands (some
flavor of) instance-based schema language(s). Then I'll need to port
my DTDs to those schema languages.
