RE:  ConciseXML syntax
W3C XML Schema does a terribly poor job of mapping XML to objects and
instead adds an extra layer of impedence mismatches that now have to be
reconciled (what does derivation by restriction mean to objects or
namespace restricted wildcards or the block attribute?). As for DTDs,
their purpose would be specifying IDness so circular references can be
effectively represented.
