[topicmaps-comment] Re: [topicmapmail] XML Schema for XTM DTD

[Max Voskob <mvoskob@msi.com.au>]

DTD has more limitations than XSD.

I'd prefer to see an XSD schema as the source of truth, DTD for those who
are still using it and RelaxNG can also normative as long as the target XML
document is still valid for the XSD.

However, UDDI we will need an XSD schema of XTM for adoption.

Cheers,
Max
