The concept of a DTD has a resonance with data driven programming such as JSP Jackson Structured Programming and JSD - Jackson System Design. I have on occasion used DTDs to document time ordered interfaces to objects. It can be a very powerful technique! Take a really simple object interface - an object with open,close,read,write methods. These have a time ordering which is not captured in this: int open(); int close(); int read(); int write(); Compare this:- <!element interface (open,(read|write)*,close)> Sean Mc Grath sean at digitome dot com xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
