I think I'm of the same mind as you. I'm not so attached to DTDs that they'll be
pryin' 'em out of my cold, dead hands, but I do need to see them replaced
properly. In our haste for advancement, it's worth considering that a lot of
meaningful XML work has been done using DTDs and a lot of projects still use
them, for better or for worse. My preference is for them to eventually be
abandoned in favour of a clearly superior approach - it's too dangerous and
disruptive to give them the flick and then figure out how to replace them.
