Request for clarification, I would like to build on this question: are they (schemas) a replacement for DTD's? Or are they validated using a DTD? - What is the future of DTDs - with respect to XML. Can anyone point me to a definitive article on their relationship to each other. Thank you for your time and attention. John.
