XML (syntax, semantics, whatever...)? Only that XML DTDs are not as expressive as SGML DTDs in constraining instance structure. When developing document types, no matter what schema language you use, there are going to be some things you can formally express in that schema language and stuff that you have to express with prose or code or something similar. The richer the expressive capability of the schema language, the less you have to rely on these other things. I guess you always have to balance the expressiveness of your chosen schema language with how widespread machine and/or human understanding of it is.
