The element declarations (or most other syntactic units) in RNG usually can be (and usually are) contained in named patterns. So don't be put off by the lack of %, or that textual inclusion is not the model used: I think if parameter entities are your bees' knees, then RELAX NG has a very strong story.Sure, but I wasn't comparing DTDs to XSD at all, but to RNG compact syntax. It's true that the pieces can be pretty scattered because you can create arbitrary named patterns, but that's actually *less* arbitrary than parameter entities. The advantage of spreading things out in RNG compact syntax is *so that* you can create better, clearer names, a facility that can obviously be abused.
