I have two concerns - support for XML Schema and speed of adoption - our customers may prefer to receive a DTD because they are familiar with it and already have tools to help them deal with it. Opinions on things to consider when choosing between providing a DTD or an XML Schema would be useful - any out there!? Also, how conformant is Microsoft's MSXML to the October CR for XML Schemas? Thanks Mark ps when I do File/New in XED and it asks for a DTD should I be able to give it "c:\XMLSchema.dtd" (saved from http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema.dtd)? It tells me "failed to open and process file:///c:\XMLSchema.dtd proceeding without one". (XED v0.5.3.2) ps any plans for syntax coloring or windows keybindings? also choice of font would be nice. -- Agile HTML Editor Agilic Corporation http://www.agilic.com
