Yet Another Way To Do Mostly The Same Thing. ;-) The compact syntax is a proof that DTDs weren't that bad to begin with (the argument that the syntax was confusing for HTMLers, etc.) And if one ever saw a line of BNF, DTDs are a slam dunk. It may depend on one's background. But the point is well taken that RELAX NG has more upside potential. Unfortuntately, the US Government is taking steps to outlaw it's use for Federal work. :-( len From: John Cowan [mailto:jcowan@r...] "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" scripsit: > 1.

Can't agree with you there. RELAX NG has equally easy basics, more upside potential, and its compact syntax is even faster to type than DTDs -- less use of the Shift key.
