Agreed. And to encourage reuse of notations, I am going to set up a section
on SCHEMA.NET as a repository for notation declarations. John Cowan's are a
great start. Any more.

Let's actually put together some for some ISO8601 formats.

Correct, so why do you want:

>I would like to see the following syntax:
><!ELEMENT OrderTime (#PCDATA) NDATA Iso8601_DateTime >

when you can just have

<!ELEMENT OrderTime (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST OrderTime
    notation NOTATION (Iso8601_DateTime) #FIXED "Iso8601_DateTime">

?
