Just wanted to point you folks to a discussion on advogato.org critiquing
XML, DTDs and all things related. It's a pretty level-headed discussion
unlike the noise that you usually get on slashdot.org.
http://www.advogato.org/article/47.html
"XML is presently hailed as a universal encoding format, yet
the "extensions" (DTDs) of XML have nothing in common with
one another. This article addresses some existing DTDs, discusses
the psychology of text-encoded standards, and makes a case for
standards bodies returning to the task of agreeing on minimal,
reasonable features and practical solutions rather than waving
their hands and pointing at a DTD."
