It would have to be a dtd (schema's don't do entity definitions) This is
the "standard" way of doing this so long as the "html" you are getting
is well formed xml. But most html isn't even valid html never mind being
well formed, in which case, as Michael said, using tag soup is a better
option as it is designed to forgive at places where a browser would
forgive (but an xml parser would give a fatal error)..
