Will it be dropped as mentioned 5 years ago? I believe so. A non-normative XSD wouldnât be *that* hard to develop, given the progress made earlier, but the TC decided not to continue developing it. > Will there be a DTD in 5.2? Are there plans for DTD in 6.x? A DTD would, in principle, be possible as well, but even less useful as it would be both non-normative and have no (actual) support for namespaces. Years ago, I thought it would be possible to generate XSD and DTD versions of the schema mechanically, but I gave up on that project. I think it would still be possible, it just turned out to be more complicated and time consuming than I could justify. I donât think itâs likely that a 6.x release would include either an XSD or a DTD.
